Christmas

Sometime between the wrapping of presents
and baking of cookies,
Christ entered in
and Christmas came.

“Christ is born again in our hearts,”
the priest proclaimed,
and it was so.

He was there,
newborn and fully grown,
loving God,
a new and eternal presence.

Welcoming me home
into His heart
and my own.

Welcome, dear Savior.
Christmastime is come again.
Christ has come.
