A young woman is with child

 

Haiku of promise


Ahaz will not ask

the Lord for a sign. A sign

will still be given.


A girl will conceive,

she shall give birth to a son

called Immanuel.


Teenage girl, swelling

with wonder and life; marker

of life, joy and hope.


Children speak to us

of blessings, spirit, beauty,

duty and promise.


This child is unique,

turning away from evil

and choosing the good.


We ask for a sign

but it is there before us.

Rise up and seek God!
