The Blessed Night Of Two Hearts

Weary

Worried and Frazzled

Frustrated, confused and hurting

Two lonely figures made their way into town

A journey they could ill-afford to make

A poor carpenter and his young wife.

Life was not easy

Rumours wounded their reputations

Talk of fanaticism

Broken dreams 

Dashed hopes of  a groom longing  

For a sweet innocent bride

Desperate surrender to their God

Relinquishment and determination

Bowing to the will of God.

A cold desert night

 Beyond their strength

Their only place of respite

A hovel

The pain unbearable

Wracking her slight body

No mother near

No comforting hand

Only a nervous, terrified husband.

Lost together

Found in their divine purpose

Bound by hope

Unified by the wonder of the cry of a newborn babe

Human both

God accomplished His purposes

Through two hearts

Surrendered to his will

The immortal became  mortal

That blessed night
