Paul Schneiter Poet Rhyme

Love Came To Earth

The manger was empty and bare.
But that didn’t matter,
because Love would come there.

Joseph and Mary found it sufficient,
she being full with God’s own son.
Thus in that night came Love omniscient.

An angel told shepherds of the birth.
They journeyed in joy to the place
and saw that Love had come to earth.

Wise men came led by a star’s holy light.
They brought gifts, worshipped the babe,
and knew that Love was in their sight.

Thus the prophecies of centuries long past
were fulfilled in some stranger’s manger,
and Love. . .Love came to earth at last.

The only difference is, we believe Jesus was a blessed and special human sent to this earth by God in a special way, i. e. without a father. And we believe He was a great prophet of the Almighty. Great write. Blessings
