The Messiah is a poor child in a poor town
at the edge of the world.
Despots want her dead, but her parents shield her.
You know the tale.
The Messiah is here now—
yes, now. Today.
What are you waiting for, Christmas?
You will not find her; no magi will.
She is one among millions;
we cannot save her alone.
But she will save us
when we want her to live,
she and her village and her people
and her land.
Until then we are not saved.
What are you waiting for, Christmas?
