                                                  Accepted ****   Him
                                                 Gave   Him   life's reign
                                                 Would I give Him  room
                                                 Would   I   invite    Him
                                                 Into   the   inn's  space
                                                 What   if   I   was there
                                                  Would   I   even   care
                                                               xx

I love your poem, Sara. I've asked that same question of myself, even at Jesus Crucifixion. 7 Blessings and Merry Christmas
