Reflections on Christmas Mass

By Masamune

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

i went to church to day and rejoiced at the sound of babies crying. it seemed fitting almost at the childrens's liturgy Christmas mass. so innocent, their eyes full of tears. if only they knew of their God who died for them... then their tears would've fallen like mine. almost in vain he seems to have gone as i looked around at the chattering people. the preist preached love and forgivness and people laughed at each other. if only they knew of their God who died for them... then their tears would've fallen like mine. as i prayed during Eucharist i realized my own faults and how critical i had been of others. i pray for forgiveness and to be able to love. if only i knew my God who died for me... my tears wouldn't've fallen at all.
