Poem
Playing at night on rocky ground, he sprained his foot. He hobbled onwards careful where his foot he put. The lonely shepherds had long returned to their sheep, But he wanted to see before he went to sleep. Shepherds said that angels sent them to the stable, So he wanted to see all was not a fable. The night was cold but he did not really mind, What worried him was if he would manage to find, The new born babe that promised peace and love to all, So he entered quietly in the forlorn stall. There in the half dark, dimly lit by an old oil lamp Tiptoeing softly inside like some escaped tramp, He saw two persons asleep, but in a cradle He saw the sweetest babe: he felt so disabled. The dim dark turned bright and sweet angelic voices Turned the cold places in feelings of rejoices. Afraid the lonely boy would not approach too near, This king of king, was no fable and he felt fear. The kindly woman woke and beckoned him to see, Do not be afraid, come hither she said, It's He. The boy hobbled slowly to the heavenly child, Instinctively he kissed the new born babe who smiled. One day I shall see this babe though I live so far I'll know him for only he could possess the star. I shall be a great fisherman and so I’ll know, My name is John and with Him I shall always go. 27/12/2012 Placed 1 Nativity New Poems Sponsored by: Eve Roper
