There was a young man
From Cork who got limericks
And haikus confused.
*Cameron Malcher, 2018
poetry
Christ’s love: an Advent poem
Love caused Your Incarnation;
Love brought You down to me.
Your thirst for my salvation
Procured my liberty.
Oh, love beyond all telling,
That led You to embrace
In love, all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race.
Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), “O Lord, How Shall I Meet You”
