Scrapbook – Christmas 2023

  • Where will I be born?
    That day,
    I was born in a manger
    Amidst hay and fodder;
    The night was expectantly silent,
    The stars were exceptionally brilliant;
    The ewes and lambs and all cattle
    Forgot even to make small prattle.
    Today,
    Where will I be born?
    Amidst the blast and swash
    And whirr of a total crash?
    Amidst the pathetic number rare
    Of children food-ridden and bare?
    Or in a world where incidentally
    Everything is a virtual reality?
    Dear,
    Can you bid me a cosy mattress
    Woven with love and peace and happiness
    In your heart?
    -Miriam Philip, VIII, St. Josephs GHS, Alappuzha, Kerala
