I woke last night and read my Poe and asked is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream of a dream? I know what I don’t know what I know.

While shepherds watched their flocks so white All contemplating dusk, Their ’phones received some breaking news All thanks to Elon Musk. His Tweet announced a virgin birth In a stable by an inn, They danced around the windswept heath To a flute and violin.

The Only Star for Me I gaze into the starry sky I am bewildered, day gone by I wondered how this could be Is there not a star just for me? Another day, another night I cry out LORD, please give me sight Then the night shined clear as day When a bright star lit my way. The only star for me Shone at...

It was a busy night in Bethlehem, Visitors arriving by the score, Since Caesar had declared a census, To tax the people more. A Jewish couple arrived in town, Searching for a room to stay, But there was not a single one, To be had that fateful day. The woman's name was Mary, And her child would soon be born. Her husband's name was Joseph. They...

On a bleak and frosty night Vexed and weary two travelers rode Along the pathways-craggy and ragged From Nazareth, trudging miles on end Full pregnant, was she with child Mary -the Virgin, suffused with Spirit Holy Divinely ordained to bear the Godly Prince Conceived before, she had known her spouse. Abiding in Heaven’s Providence n’ care They had rode past miles behind Far too fatigued...
