Little ones--picture this sight
Bethlehem shook and shivered
As Child was born that night
Inside stable--the real Body and Blood
Enough warm love inside His little chest
To make water out of snow
Engulfed the whole world in flood
Gifts from His warm Heart flowed
Roused from blanketed sleep
By sweetest music in high fidelity
Bunch of old fellows with sheep
Found their way fast
At last, into the barn,
And warm
Attending
First midnight mass
Animals knowingly bent
Their knees, witnessing
Most spectacular event
See what happened after that
They rode in with the wind--
No limos, but on camels sat
Three wisest guys
One totally black
With squinty eyes
Followed the slow-moving sky light
Many weeks, many miles
Gazed
Amazed--
At Most Bright
Lamb of God has now met
Face-to-face
Lamb of man.
Son shall live; Sun will set
In the following span of time
Third of a century, by count
He spent humbly sublime
Appeared a donkey to mount
He rode through the streets
Hail the King they shouted
Thousands of folks he meets
Along the way--routed
That little Babe,
Child of wonder
Now became man
Life broken asunder
Died to sounds
Of tympanic
Thunder
So the curtain dropped
While life..
Suddenly.....
Stopped
....................and started
