The story of Christ
long before the manger
the promise of God
long ago, in the prophets
but more than this
the story of two couples
cousins, one older, one so young
each pregnant, afraid
their husbands, trying to understand
the plan God had for them
trying to believe
to be faithful to them
needing the angels
to help them along
before the manger,
the couples’ lives intersecting
helping them remain
faithful to God
