Without surcease
The child is born into a world of struggle,
bringing love when it is easier to hate,
mercy when revenge is sweeter,
embracing all in love beyond all telling,
carrying our pains and sorrows
without surcease,
arms open in a world where children
often abused and unloved.
saying “fear not for I am with you”.
dare we believe,
trust enough in a world where love often fails,
to give our own fiat no matter how weak,
to open our hearts to this embrace?
