A Late Christmas Poem: The Christmas Contradiction

I never write poetry, but have often had the desire. JR told me recently that I would never get to it if I didn’t just move past my inhibitions and give it a shot. So here is my feeble attempt. It was written for Christmas, but I didn’t want to post it until now. Maybe I’ll write one for Epiphany too.

Infinite infant in flesh finite

Of God and mortal man’s delight

Lowborn Lord incarnate here

Man’s Creator becomes his peer.
