The First Day of the Last Month
By Franklin Price
12/01/2019
It's the first day of the last month
Of the last year that's a teen
For the twenty first of centuries
Since Christ was on the scene
This month on the twenty-fifth
We celebrate his holy birth
God sent him here to die for us
His only son, defined our worth
Christ was born in a manger
In a stable for the stock
The shepherds were out in the fields
Attending to their flock
The little town was Bethlehem
With a shining star above
To guide the wise men to that place
Of God's eternal love
Fast forward to his teen age years
Two thousand years ago
The Gregorian calendar, that we use
Tells the world that this is so
He frequented the temples
Taught a wise forgiving god
As the eldest, raised his family
When Joseph's death gave him the nod
Women were attracted
Wanted Jesus in their life
He chose a life of abstinence
Would not take any for his wife
As he was turning twenty
No turning back, he would not bend
We honor, once again his birth
As this year comes to an end
