I'm not complaining really, I love sewing costumes, especially for children - and I'm glad that schools still act out the Nativity Story at Christmas. It is truly a privilege to be part of that with them. But I have some other sewing tasks I wanted to have completed before Tuesday. Maybe I shall fit them in today. Meanwhile I leave you with a favourite poem by Peter Dixon.
This year...
This year
can I be Herod?
This year,
can I be him?
A wise man
Or a Joseph?
An inn man
Or a king?
This year...
Can I be
famous?
This year,
can I be best?
Bear a crown
of silver
And wear a
golden vest?
This year...
Can I be
starlight?
This year,
can I stand out?
...feel the
swish of curtains
and hear the
front row shout
'Hurrah' for
good old Ronny
he brings a
gift of gold
head afire
with tinsel
'The
Greatest Story Told...'
'Hurrah for
good old Herod!'
and
shepherds from afar.
So--
Don't make
me a palm tree
And can I be
a Star?
