* Come See

Come see! Come see! shouts the children. For this day there has been a baby born. His parents traveled many days and nights, all the towns, cities would not allow them rest. They were so tired, exhausted, the woman was expecting a baby like no other ever known. She riding proudly upon the donkey and her husband, at her side leading them slowly over rocky paths and up many steep hills but they never thought of stopping. Every door knocked on denied them entry, telling them no room here you most move on for your kind is unwelcome here in this city, town, country. Never once did they complain all she knew was the baby was coming soon so when all impossible that there would be no place for rest they knocked one more time on a small door in the far away city. The keeper came and said Move on I have no room for the likes of you, but sir my wife is with child it will be born this night then I have a empty stable you may use good night sir now move on. So they walked down the road a little further and there it was this small stable with a horse, a cow, some sheep and much straw and hay and there he helped her down. With in hours the baby came it was a boy child and the sky lite like diamonds and one star shinned brighter then the others leading those in the desert to this child who was born this day in Bethlehem His name was JESUS!

Rhonda, This poem is full of richnesses. It brings Jesus into homes. He came into a humble home. He taught the feelings of love and compassion by His perfect example. I "hear" your voice and feel your faith through this poem. Thank you for being you. (Soupmail) Lovingly, Dane Ann
