Let a Miracle Happen

“There’s a new student waiting in your room,” my principal announced, hurrying past me on the stairs. “Name’s Mary. I need to talk to you about her. Stop in the office later.” I nodded and glanced down at the packs of pink, red and white paper, and the jars of paste and boxes of scissors I held in my arms. “Fine,” I said. “I’ve just come from the supply room.

But I have heard a whisper, I know I shall be blest; “My presence shall go with thee, And I will give thee rest.” What will the New Year bring me?
