Mary Christmas

Mary when did your joy come most For your child within not conceived of man In your womb for nine months to be formed The world was out to destroy this child But God blinded there eyes and led you To a place where this child to be born in a manger Oh I have witnessed these labor pains But the joy you must have felt when You cradled Him in your arms The north star shined brightly above Him That we may always see He came from above The three wise men were lead to you Bringing gold, incense and myrth Giving a true meaning so many miss Gold is the knowledge and wisdom of God The treasure of the mystery and truth Incense was to give one there was a new sense To awaken the five that we have not smelled touch, seen ,taste are heard before. The myrth to bring the anointing oil That one was coming to prepare the dead To allow one to see they are walking in death But through this child was coming a new breath They came from the east, west and south to give thanks to the newborn child from the north. You witnessed your child teach this wisdom And knowledge that He did not receive from man He done many wonders and showed The power of God in love to heal many This must have left many wondering Why this man from God do so many hate For they relied on human wisdom and praise Mary the pain you must have felt when They lifted up this child on the cross This goes to another level than labor pain Everyone should have seen this was wrong But God blinded there eyes to fulfill prophecy He was then placed in this worlds tomb For He would remain for three days Mary did you have enough time to mourn For on that third day when this Child Came unto the world in a new body Mary you must have been overflowing With peace , joy, comfort and love. For now your child from God Is to be born unto all Children of God Revealing we are dead man walking He shall breathe life and spirit within To place in good soil That shall overcome the weeds and thorns of life that try to hold one to this world That God might reign within To burn away the darkness And place death under our feet

Stephen, utterly beautiful! I admire a poet like you, who takes the rigor for a long write in such fine detail. What’s more, your heart is in it….totally.)) Sometimes we are in a rush to publish the most poems. Shakespeare only wrote 154 poems and is reknowned. It is so easy to sacrifice quality over quantity, you know what I mean? Merry Christmas,Pangie

Yeah ,I know it will not be peace here, getting worse every day,. I was just kidding about spelling title wrong, I wanted to dedicate it to Mary , from watching her son born to then watching Him crucified so we may enter His rest, I tried in Christmas and Easter why everyone got Jesus on there mind this month. : ). : )

About all the woes in this world, yes my friend, there are many. People sometimes have to suffer before turning to God..you cannot save them. Your poetry can be inspirational. You know the saying…Let go, Let God? Am sure you do. Your poems might touch someone and you will never know. I am old enough to know that, no there won’t be peace on earth. We cannot get along in our hometowns. Peace comes when the earth is destroyed by God. Not these idiot leaders. They cannot destroy the planet! He can and will. Then comes The Final Judgement. No peace till then.glad you care about humanity. Hugs, Pangie xo

I was wondering how many would say this foolish guy can't even spell Merry. Well being from Alabama it's pronounced Mary. : ). :. )

Aww your so sweet, all glory to God for placing the fire and strength within me,. through God I am trying in so many ways to reach people: ). All the pain , hate envy ,sorrow, everything mostly not of the spirit of God this world harbors ,and we try everything to relieve depression, anxiety and on and on, in our own works,not seeing it's the separation from God causing all this,. But yes I know what you mean about quality I don't write to write, but to give a message I have received are to describe what God has placed within me ,Merry Christmas, love ya my friend
