< Christmas >
your prince of peace
framed
in bones and nails
keeps you safe
from the faces in the window
but i am not so good at these things
i can't explain
the pictures of belief
lining your walls
and i will never know your father
or his bones
but there you are
secure upon your rock
and here i am
listening
to your gracious bells
