No, he wasn’t born in the neonatal unit

of St. Luke’s Hospital

His parents

were traveling

Of all places, he was born in a stable

Imagine that!

Child welfare must

have gotten a report

Perhaps it was one of those shepherds...

or was it a wise guy?

What a time to choose to be born

And in what a place...

Why do we remember the birth of this child who was homeless?

There was nothing special about him.

Or was there?

Do we remember all those who are homeless in our fair cities today?

Would he?
