He challenges me
this baby:
I cannot kneel by his manger
and not
be changed,
I cannot gaze into those beautiful eyes
and stay the same,
I cannot hold him close
and fail to be aware
that his purpose in coming
is for him
to hold me,
I cannot welcome this new life
without acknowledging
that this baby
invites me
to radically new ways of being;
I simply cannot find the words
to express
how the coming of this child
challenges me
to change.
A Saviour is born
and life
will never be the same again.
He challenges me
this baby.
