One Starry Night
What did it take
for God to send
us his son?
To bring a child
into this world?
A world that
would hate
and eventually
kill him because
of everything that
he represented?
And yet the night
he was born
a star shone so brightly
so that three wise men
could come
and worship him?
The universe
celebrated
his birth
into a world that was
cold and unfeeling.
To fulfill a promise
to us who didn't
even deserve it.
