Mary's Expectation - December 18 - 2019

Mary's Expectation - a poem...

Mary's expecting a son
She set out to travel afar
The decree by Caesar  said
​To register Bethlehem  star!

They traveled by day
They traveled by night
A donkey for the journey
It just felt right...

Mary was tired 
They stopped for a drink
Three camels coming
They didn't even blink...

Joseph searched for a place 
There was no room 
​The inn was full
This was so gloom...

However a boy said
Come over to this cave!
Then lay down here
Mary was so brave! 

Then Jesus came....
He came like a Light!
The stars were twinkling
They were twinkling so Bright!

The Angels appeared
To the shepherds of the field of may
They sang to them 
Jesus born today! Jesus born today!

Mary wrapped HIM
in swaddling clothes of hay
and laid HIM in the manager
as it was HIS birth Today!
as it was HIS birth Today!
