EXPECTANCY
It may not be on Christmas Eve
when silver bells are ringing,
there may not be a starry sky
with hosts of angels singing
It may be very dark the night
when she and God together
come seeking out my little heart
to shield them from the weather
His mother may not be in blue -
I may not even know them -
perhaps I'd best give all the world
the courtesy I'd show them
And lest they take me by surprise
I think it ample reason
to leave my heart's expectant door
flung wide in every season
Sister M Ada CSJ
