a dream come true


how they must have felt
when they saw Christ’s presence
the birth of a Savior, a child,
God in our midst

a dream come true
an answer to prayer
generations in the making
fulfilling scripture

God’s eternal promise
now alive before us
not to leave or forsake us
but to keep us in God’s care

the mercy of Christmas
the journey of Advent
realizing the power
of a dream come true
