We have seen His Glory -Some Christmas Doggerel by Robin Dawson

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We have seen his glory...

Glory? What glory?

The glory of unmarried parents

The glory of having your first hours puzzled over by smelly shepherds

The glory of knowing you have been touched by a woman subject to bleeding

The glory of having your wisdom wilfully misinterpreted by the uncomprehending

The glory of quiet conversations that sound the depths of souls

The glory of washing feet and sharing bread and wine

The glory of obedience in that dark garden

The glory of an agonising, slow, public, naked death

The glory of the empty tomb

The glory of breakfast for tired fishermen cooked at dawn on a beach by a calm lake

The glory of dawning comprehension

This is no glorious glory

This is the glory of the One and Only

Robin Dawson
