This is the "Memorial to the Unborn"
in Monumenta Cemetery, Lynden, WA.



the first Christmas


before the beginning
 the Father knew
the Son would come to earth

not as King
not as Lord
but as a baby
borne by water
and the blood of woman

how could the Father
send his Son into the dark
of womb and world?

how could the Son
leave heaven, throne
and Father?

woman
man
all the world
loved by the Father and the Son

on a Bethlehem night
came Light
by water
and the blood of woman

a Son
Immanuel
God
with us


(late 2000's)
