"FOLLOW THAT UH...ER...STAR, THEN HANG A LEFT"




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
