Wonder: The Gift of the Shepherds

I'm working on a series of poems around the gifts of those involved in the first Christmas. I may be able to use them in our Christmas Eve service if they turn out OK.


 

 
If the angels disappeared
and the shepherds went to sleep
we would be without a gift
that touches our spirit deep.
 
“Let us go to Bethlehem,”
shows us wonder at its best
and helps us to follow them
as we go on our own quest.
 
Wonder doesn’t let us stay
a captive of apathy.
It prods our look for Jesus
with our hearts open to see.
 
Yes, the shepherds give a gift
we can still receive today
leading us to the manger
to join with them as we pray.
