JOY
We wait in joy for his being born
Saviour of the world so well sworn Eyes peeled watching for that star Once wise men followed from afar
He comes again to bring that hope
Just when we think we cannot cope Dare we forget his holy sacrifice Already is paid redemption's price
What a wondrous season of longing
We endure a new sense of belonging To kingdom gathered under His wing His salvation wisely then to cling
Thus the cause of great and lasting joy
Our hearts a manger for this baby boy © gillena cox 2017

About the Poet
I live in Trinidad of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; a
multi ethnic, multi religious society. I write poetry for the sheer joy of crafting my feelings, my emotions my thoughts. I enjoy the challenge of abstraction in writing haiku. Married to Anthony Cox in 1971; we have a daughter Yanda and a son Khama. I was born in 1950
First grandchild: a grand-daughter born October 2012
