Bethlehem
The
trip had been long ... they reached Bethlehem -
and
Mary, so tired at the long journey’s end -
knowing
the Child would be born before long,
was
thankful that Joseph ... so young and so strong,
had
found them a place to rest for the night;
it
wouldn’t be long … and before morning’s light
she
delivered the son God had promised to give -
a
dear little boy who would grow up to live
a life
given by God, for all of Mankind -
Our
Savior ... Christ Jesus, this baby Divine.
