A Christmas poem written this past December 2010. |
Christmas Eve comes again With its cheer that never ends To bring gifts to those held dear With a love that is forever clear Now join me in a Christmas story That tales of the wondrous glory Of a love that wants to be Ours my love for eternity The day is cold the sky is gray Snow has landed upon the ground The animals move in the fields Slowly finding trees and brush Finding what gives them warmth The deep hopes seem far from sight As this day moves along to night The day moves along its way Filling the houses with disarray Crowds fill the towns this day Making haste is all the fray Many come from far away Seeking places where they can stay Slowly comes one man with staff in hand He leads a Woman in life's way Astride upon the donkey dear To find a place where they can come, finding none We move along the roadside now Bringing feed for the animals to find Along the pathway we stride Seeing the man and his wife Come follow us I say to him Let me show you a place to stay From this cold and gray day To a place we bring the man Slowly we find shelter therein Placing straw upon a manger Looking at the wife with wonder Can this story be ours to behold I say My heart felt love beside me this day We walk back to the house with hope Our hands joined with love deep in thought Here this night in the cold A newborn babe will come to lite Can the hope that fills our hearts Make this a day our delight We came back home with hearts renewed The following morning to see the Good News In the stable we gave that night We find our new Born hope held bright For in place of the Man, His Wife and Child We find the Christmas Manger filled with life New life has come this Christmas Morning As we see our live stock here New Born New life and blessed health has come For the animals within New life from them has sprung For us and our family New Hope begins This Christmas morning will come With new hope and good will That hard times will be gone New times will be born again Forever joined in the love of life This is the true Christmas wish That the love of my life May be blessed with Christmas Hope so bright |
