Housekeeper
by Elizabeth Rooney
from A Widening Light, Regent College Publishing, 1984
This is my little town,
My Bethlehem,
And here, if anywhere,
My Christ Child
Will be born.
I must begin
To go about my day--
Sweep out the inn,
Get fresh hay for the manger
And be sure
To leave my heart ajar
In case there may be travelers
From afar.
