No Vacancy

Lying in my bed, it was only after Every sound had finished That I realized the woman was pregnant. These are hard times for everyone. What am I suppose to do? Kick my own mother-in-law out? It was dark, her breathing was labored, yes. I figured from travel. They seem fine now, though. I can see them in Elijah's Manger a hundred yards out. That dirty little hay hole. I pray they make it through the night.

Matt: I've read a lot of religious/Christmas poetry and have even written some. I've never read better. What an intense presentation of one man's thoughts of that night. Thank you for sharing it with all of us on Soup. oldbuck
