Advent to Candlemas (Vol. 4)

For Our Little Lamb

Light a candle
For the window
As a signal
Of our yearning,
For our little lamb
Before the year's turning.

Cut the gifts for
Those with plenty,
Fill the stockings
Of the empty,
For our little lamb
So poor and so lowly.

Say a quiet pray
For the gentle
But eschew the
Sentimental
For our little lamb
So meek was slaughtered.
