Alex's Christmas Light
by Mrs. Faith Flaherty, O.P.
Alex beams as he show his Christmas card --
The prisoner artist, with soft eyes,
has to peer beyond to see
behind bars.
Happy garland embraces thick branches,
bright lights shining
behind bars.
Kairos Moment! When I see
that emblazoned tree is
behind bars.
Alex gives a present of hope
to us--who put him
behind bars.
Merry Christmas to all and
may all see the Light.
