A great poem. It can be easy to forget that all of creation worships Jesus, not just humanity.

Because of scheduling issues, my grandchildren had our gift exchange yesterday. I read this poem after my granddaughter read Luke 2 and I discussed it. Great poem. I have saved it.

And Lewis said he wasn't good at poetry!

I didn’t know he was also a poet. I’m spending my very first Christmas in Narni, Italy this year, and today I saw a wonderful Father Christmas figure in the main square, and it made me think of the cosy scene with Father Christmas in Narnia.

I love his words. So poignant and powerful. Just think, once he was just like us—writing words hoping someone would someday read.
