Advent Poem: Hush

Our poem from Advent Sunday was chosen by Revd. Andrew. It’s “Hush” by Madeleine L’Engle

Hush!

Wait.

What's the rush?

Why do we try to outguess God?

He will come when he comes

But nobody knows

Jesus said:

I don't know when.

Even the angels in Heaven don't know.

Only God.

Hush!

Wait.

It will be in God's time, not ours.

It will be for love

Not human chronologies.

What's a millennium?

A few years off anyhow

And on a calendar

not used by much of the world.

Hush!

Wait.

He will come for love

Never forget love

Hush!

Wait.

Listen.

Love.
