The Christ-Child (5 Haiku)

Entry for "The Lighthouse Poetry Contest" December 2016

The Prince of Peace comes;
Cradled in a manger small,
Halo ‘round His head.

Mary, Joseph, Kings--
Heads bowed low, adoring Him,
The Almighty God.

Such a little babe,
But He is called Wonderful,
Counselor, and King.

Glory be to God:
The Everlasting Father,
Emmanuel, shall

Come to us at last,
Swaddled in his Mother’s arms,
On this holy night.
