Peace Child, Love Child (Ever Rewritten)

[Guest guest]

I want to be the Christ Child today

Wrapped in swaddling, cozy in a manger

Star of Bethlehem rising in the night

Warmed by the love of mother Mary and

Joseph with his staff, smiling upon me,

I want to be innocent

I want to be selfish I want to return

To the Purity of Childhood

Please

I have had enough of heartbreak,

I have seen enough death and destruction

Starvation and calamity to last millions

Of incarnations,

Please

I have seen too much blood shed, too many

Hearts ripped asunder as the bodies blow apart

Please

Give me grace, oh Lord

I pray to the four winds, I fall on my knees

I bow, I say Namaste, I pray with my folded hands,

I raise my open palms to the level of my shoulders,

I look for a hole in the wall to lay my wailing on

Please

Let me laugh again

Please return me to the Love

Of a Child....

 

 

 

 

 

Peace and Love,

Ana
