Legacies
Did he know that the stable
he found for his girl
would stand starlit forever?
Did she sense that the manger
that cradled her child
would resound across centuries in song?
Could they guess that their headlong dash
from the fields would be told,
then retold, then retold?
Would they ever have dreamt their long
star trek might end up portrayed
in a myriad locations?
So take thought what you do
in this season of clear expectation.
There’s no telling just where
or with whom it will end.
