(By: Karla Wagener, for Pope Francis on his birthday, Dec. 17, 2024. Merry Christmas to all! On the eve of your birth I offer hope for a troubled Earth).

I have contemplated
The details of life,
The atoms and quirks,
My dog, kittens and
Even mice.

I have seen miracles
That go unknown.
Seen seeds grow,
Storms full blown.

I have intuitively
Followed an inner voice.
It's been a tough journey,
Now I can only rejoice!

I have contemplated
The wonders,
Even what makes us grieve,
With the conclusion
There is a greater conscience and glory
In which to believe!

I have contemplated
Life and death.
Intuitively followed
And trust in creation's
Great expansion.
There certainly is
A greater conscious
And glory
With immense compassion!
