Diabolical discriminations
The diabolical discriminations
life made me witness,
threw me in the depths of being a
disgusted stranger,
all supposed earthly beauties floats by
I could care less,
same goes for the ineffective utterances of
bush, mountain and manger.

Wherever Lord
Wherever You are living God
I want to live with You
Whenever You call to me
I'll come running straight to You
Wherever You are preaching
I'm receiving Your great love
Because You are my Savior
All day long I want to be Your child
Like baby Jesus in the manger
He slept there meek and so mild
Guide me along life's path
Never may I

Another manger
What trembling light,
what quiver of eternity
gleamed in the shepherds' eyes,
unaware heralds of an hour
that would shatter time
like a vessel overflowing with heaven.
You wish for the transparency
of that intact heart,
naked of pride and fear,
to draw close to the threshold
of the cave,
where the earth breathes
the miracle that overshadows it.
You long for eyes of crystalline wonder,
pure as the

The Animals They Talk
Venus
Casts a tiny shadow
Upon the ghostly snow
From its candle held by an extended hand
Of a cloaked man
Who trips through the stripped trees
Follows the fresh trail of reindeer
To our second-floor windowsills
Then on to rooftops lined with owls
Comet tails thrashing through the oval
Stars
The kids pretend to sleep
To the faint smell of hay
Their red stockings overflow with candy

Away in a Manger, Jesus is No Stranger
Snowflakes sparkle in grandiose beauty.
Loving Jesus, a Christian’s, call and duty.
Entering a music-filled Church, a must today!
With grateful soul, bow your head and pray,
Your eternal Father, just gave you His only Son,
Wrapped in a humble manger, for everyone!

Where is Jesus Manger
Gingerbread jingle woods, livens up our jolly elf.
Cartoon magic Christmas, books falling off of a shelf.
We are running into Santa’s path; he has to veer away.
Glad to say he missed us with the runners of his sleigh.
A gift for Serendipity, a gift for Mr. Vee and Mrs. Lee.
Candy canes all over even on the Christmas

My Marriage In Danger - Away In A Manger Parody
My marriage; in danger
No wife in my bed
She slept with two geezers
In our cattle shed
I did suspect one guy
Of making her stray
She does what she pleases
Much to my dismay
The problem with knowing
Is she often bakes
So now I say, ”Jesus,
That means no more cakes.”
And yes it displeases
That her roaming eye
Has found a new lover…
Like

The Thrilled Manger
Did anyone see millions of rainbows fill up the skies?
Did anyone see the heavens bloom and a child appear?
Flying, floating, and fluttering to a numb-filled surprise
Rested between Joseph and Mary, filled with divine cheer
The racks where they dwelt, as there's no place in the human hearts
Mystic music concerts were heard like thunder and earthquakes.
Cows, bulls,

The Manger
Remember the wise men
Whom King Herod sent
To find Baby Jesus
To see where He went
They followed the star
By night and by day
Their journey seemed endless
But on task they remained
The power possessed
By one little Man
A baby so mighty
No One
Could With Stand
The Wise Men they came
And worshipped the Baby
They knelt down before Him
The Gifts there they laid
Frankincense
Gold
And

Manger Danger
I grabbed the ass in the manger,
risking spiritual anger
the ass hee’d and haw’d
I screamed “Oh my Lawd!”
my ass, not his, was in danger!

A Way In the Manger
Out of a manger, one named Emmanuel
for three years sought to show His kinsmen the Way.
The Light of the World, His lips hasted to tell
of sweet forgiveness when men choose to obey.
Away from the manger, do we celebrate
the birth of a Savior angels don’t discern?
We claim Him as our Lord, yet we hesitate
to

Most Beautiful Christmas Poem
Snowing tonight….incandescent, luminescent,
Silvery snow, whispering divine dreams..
Air misty, breeze calm, serene! Do I see the
Brilliant Star, which directed the wise men
To a stable on an evening of starry twilight ...
When the three wise magi spotted the
Brightest star in the east, their surprise,
And their exhilaration knew no bounds!
Our Lord has come to us, the

Away In a Manger
Poor Rudolph was getting old,
He had the start of a heavy cold.
He did not want to pull the sleigh.
In the manger, he wanted to lay.
