A Christmas Poem

I'm not sure if I've ever shared this little poem online before. I think I wrote it up last year, for our annual Thomas Christmas Program. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. We have been having a marvelous Christmas season and I hope you have too.


That Holy Night
Laurie Ann Thomas

Mary so humble, so willing, so contrite
Was feeling so much on that holy, holy night.

Joseph so gentle, so willing, so meek
Helping to lead, to guide, and to seek.

The shepherds so astonished, so frightened, and so able
After hearing the angels, they found the stable.

The wise-men had watched for many a year
For the bright shining star they knew would appear
So, they traveled and traveled and traveled some more
To pay homage to our LORD, KING, and SAVIOR.

The animals were hushed and quiet that night
As they witnessed what was a magnificent sight.

The loving couple with their babe so small
The babe who grew up to be LORD over all.

It was then in that small manger bed filled with hay
That GOD, our creator, gave us hope of Returning someday.
