Notes About The Poem

Christmas Eve's Promise Fulfilled

promise stirs
as light shines
on manger

mother’s love
cradles babe
tenderly

Bethlehem
gives to man
salvation

I didn't know that. Thought they represented three different nations. Thanks for the info and for reading my poem. I'll visit your page.
