Notes About The Poem

I have not seen much written about Christmas eve. I thought I would take a shot at it. Hope you find meaning in it and that you have a very Merry Christmas.

Return With Me To Christmas Eve

Return With Me to Christmas Eve 
By Franklin Price

Return with me to Christmas Eve
To a stable not a room
When Jesus,  not yet born,
Was still in  Mary's womb

The town was little Bethlehem
A guiding star was overhead
The place, where Jesus, king of kings
Would have a manger for a bed

Animals, the only warmth,
For the manger to receive
The Christ child that was soon to come
To save if we believe

Shepherds, left their flocks in fields,
Joined wise men on the way
Guided by the star they saw
To greet the child on Christmas day

Angels sang from overhead
Brought peace upon the earth
Love rained down from God above
In preparation for His birth

The scene now set for Christmas day
When the world would change for all
When Mary placed our savior
In that manger in the stall
