Hope

Hearing the prodigal’s flailing roam

piecing by footstep the fragile path home


Opening weary arms with tender long

pierced to wash away yesterday’s wrong


Proving forgiveness is etched with pain

inviting the scar with promise for gain


Embracing security, enough to suffice

eternity safe through love’s sacrifice


(It's more of an Easter poem than a Christmas one, but the two do go together, don't they?)

So where's this from? Did you write it?

With direction from a writer friend, yes.
