Walking in the dust of the earth
Working, straining, sweating
Hunger stirs inside
He lifts up and comforts
He educates and inspires
He gives everything
It begins to snow
The feast comes out of the kitchen and the scent fills the house
The tree sparkles with tinsel and lights
The presents are laid around its trunk
The warmth of the fire is only outdone by the warming laughter of children
He is mocked and beaten
He is displayed for all to see
He takes our place and dies
We eat
We receive
We forget
