Christmas: a poem

T’was a night in December, a night to remember,

A census the King had declared.

“to the place you were born!” so from their homes they were torn,

the wrath of the king, to be spared.

-

“No room at the inn!” People crowded the streets

seeking a place to stay.

But gone almost un-seen, for it was “far too unclean”

Was a stable that smelled of old hay.

-

Under a star shining brighter, a husband held tighter,

The hand of his wife in pain.

The time was come, God had a son,

Emmanuel – God with us named.

-

To Him was giv’n the one key to heav’n

The Prophecy to fulfill

in mercy and love, God sent from above

His Son to do of His will.

-

Fully human and fully God,

the Son of Man – without sin.

His work rejected, His words dis-respected

By even the most pious of men.

-

T’was a night in December, a night to remember,

The voices of angels were heard.

The shepherds informed, by the angels were warned

Of Christ the Savior’s birth.

-

Have a blessed Christmas!!
