On the 1st day of Christmas my true love came to me:
All in love: the oldest christmas story;
baby born in uncertain circumstances.
.
All of us in love: the christ child born;
his clothes a mix of petticoat and duster.
.
All love is: The fusion of two into three;
the stars light up, the angels sing.
.
The bells ring: the shepherds come, the lamb,
the crook, and the kings all three.
.
The gifts: from life to death, the love,
The mother rests upon the straw.
.
Her face: a picture, her memories,
ripe with knowledge.
