Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

The Coming of Christ

In bitter winter He came

                  For sweet warmth us to bring 
 
     
                    Into the night he was born

                      For our souls to illumine 


                    In a manger he was placed

                       For humility us to teach


                       Into poverty He was set

         For the wealth of heavens with us to share


         The hatred of the King Herod He confronted 
 
                   For love in our hearts to instill 
 

                   In a warring land He marched 
 
                  For peace on earth to establish 
 

                                   And


                  He, willingly, Himself sacrificed 
 
                For salvation to humanity to grant 

  
                                For that


                Let us all, my friends, sing alleluia

                                    For 

                    Alone in life we walk no more!
