Infinite God
An embryo
You became small
You let Yourself grow

You weren’t in a hurry
You let it be slow
You chose into the process
You let Yourself grow

You depended on Mary
You were fragile, in need
You cried like a baby
You were allowed to be weak

Your diapers were changed
You surrendered to sleep
You were restless and fussy
You needed to eat

You were sad, You were mad
You just wanted to be held
You giggled, You cooed
All the feelings, you felt

You became a beginner
You were allowed to not know
You learned to do hard things
You let yourself grow

You had limitations
You knew losses and love
You released Your perfection
To become one of us.

And because You leaned close
Because You drew near
I now hold this hope
That I don’t have to fear
My own weakness or sadness
All the things I don’t know
My desires or failures
No... I can let myself grow.

An advent prompt: Where can you allow yourself to learn or to grow, to be frail or even to fail today?
