An Advent Poem; Luke 2:23

(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

Luke 2:23

What an ignominious birth, 
What holy fidelity; 
A baby looks to the past, 
And claims His right as holy; 
His own decree, laid down, 
His condescension waited. 
A little one makes a way, 
Into the presence of the Almighty.
