A child of David, of Abraham
a child of the promise,
about to be fulfilled
Not for the timid
taking on this
responsibility
needing to be humble
to be faithful
to the will of God
A stepfather for Jesus
a teacher to the Messiah
a loving parent
for the King of Kings
an awesome burden
The babe in the manger
in swaddling clothing
come to save the world
