“This Christ Child” shall the Savior be.
The animals have come around
to this mother name of Mary,
as angels make a joyful sound.
The animals have come around
the kings who traveled from far away.
As angels make a joyful sound
they must leave at the break of day.
The kings who traveled from far way
report that danger doth abound.
They must leave at the break of day.
Safety from Herod must be found. .
Reports that danger doth abound ,
sent to the Earth from Heaven above.
Safety from Herod must be found,
warnings for precious Child they love.
Sent to the Earth from heaven above,
to this mother name of Mary
warnings for precious Child they love.
This "Christ Child" shall the Savior be.

Won 5th
For Paula Swanson's contest
There is a place where shadows dwell,
And ancient evil slumbers.
A realm we’ve come to know as Hell,
That calls us by the numbers.
When fervid dreams belay the soul,
And cause our hearts to wander.
They lure us to that fetid hole,
A choice we seldom ponder.
Some slowly sink into the mire,
Defiant unto the end.
While others rise above the fire,
Upon the repentant wind.
But those in life who never slowed,
In pursuit of worldly gain,
Ransomed Heaven to walk that road,
Treating God's Word with disdain.
Some proudly say heaven awaits,
For the Lord does not condemn.
They will charge through the Pearly Gates,
While the angels cheer for them.
Others believe they’ll drift away,
Into death’s eternal rest.
With no concerns for where they lay,
Or if they have passed life’s test.
I pray they will achieve their goal,
In not reaping what they sow;
While risking their immortal soul
On the things they think they know.
Walk into the fields of life
Free of worry, free of strife
If I only could declare a truce, have
God's promise and heavenly sluice
Slide down and drink a cup of water
From a fountain of youth, yet fodder
For a soul so deemed unworthy
Not here, but be heaven trustworthy
Dig deep within the well of the soul
The answer is within you and I, hidden knolls
Of knowledge and power even at disasters hour
Turn the page of this book and scour to
Make a deal with God and heed
The answer calling, no need or greed
Listen well my child, for heaven calls
Upon us all to stand up, defend the walls
Of freedom, freedom makes its last stand
Truth makes it's last stand here, HEAR!
