Katherine Hawker has written four beautiful Advent poems for the lighting of the Advent candles. Here is one of them.
love and other foolishness
love
in a young girl's song;
fearful,
determined,
hopeful,
bursting.
love
in a mother's song;
tender,
embracing,
challenging,
stern.
love
is god's song;
curious yet timid,
playful and wondering,
coming among us again.
we light a candle for love.
