No Nativity



 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
