Christmas
Welcome home, little one
The paint is cracked and peeled
Cold wind blows through the window gap
So pull the blankets tight.
Welcome home, little one
Announced by labour pains and angels
Stained with your mother’s blood and tears
Newborn cries piercing the night.
Welcome home, little one
This world made by your hand
Cracked and broken through years of pain
Still waiting for your touch.
Welcome home, little one
So small and helpless in our arms
Creator and created embracing once again
Welcome home.
