Save

Although written six tears ago, not many people have seen this. Re-discovered it just now, buried in a sub-folder. Sometimes in the "hustle-bustle" and chaos of this thing we call the "holidays" we allow the commercialism to over-power the TRUE SPIRIT of the Yuletide Season - WITHOUT CHRIST there can be NO CHRISTMAS !!! Every time, in EVERY Maternity ward, in EVERY place throughout the entire world, EXPECTANT people are EXPECTING a NEW BIRTH - as you wait and pray - try to visualize THAT MANGER at THAT FIRST CHRISTMAS - WONDER OF WONDERS! JOY OF JOYS! A BABE IS BORN! EACH and EVERY ONE is a reminder of the MIRACLE of LIFE !!!
Christ=s Mass Oh, let us Celebrate Christ, The Child, Born in a Manger, meek and mild, Wonder of Wonders, Joseph=s Joy, Mary=s Babe, a Heaven-Sent Boy. Lo, as Angelic Choirs sang, AGloria,. Shepherds watched in Euphoria. The Magi knelt in Adoration, under the Star of David=s Jubilation. Lo, the Little Lowly Drummer Boy humbly played his Arat-tat-tat., as all God=s Wondrous Creatures, side-by-side, silently sat. Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem, how could you know you would be, the Birth-Place of Jesus, Emmanuel, Future Carpenter of Galilee. Oh, Jerusalem, God=s most Holy City, how could you ever Foresee, Golgotha=s Holy Innocent, our Lord, our Martyr, Nailed to the Tree. Oh, Glorious Christ-Child, Babe most Highly Adored, to Whom God=s Love, was so Deeply Out-poured. Oh, Savior, our Life, our Light, on this Blessed, Happy Morn, Happy Birthday, Sweet Jesus, our Promise of Eternity - Forever Re-Born! By: Thomas K. Hyland, Jr. 8 December 22, 1998

Yeah. Well now you know it wasn't a manger. The manger story came from Francis of Assisi, to promote a poor Christ (which isn't true either). The whole Bethlehem story is cooked.

Neat poem though.

Smooch...
