Christmas: Jesus, Mother Mary and Joseph©

While many slept centuries ago
Mother Mary and Joseph set out on their journey

To find a place to bear their son

They traveled long and far

Until they arrived at the perfect place

Upon their arrival Mary got as comfortable as she could

Waiting patiently for her son to be born

The animals were restless for

They knew someone important was on the way

They too waited patiently as the time grew near

As the midnight hour began to clear

The angels watching over

As baby Jesus begun to appear

The Virgin Mary and Joseph

Stood amazed at the beauty of

The gift of life given to them in the little lord Jesus

Upon the news of his arrival

The lord’s shepherds guided

Three kings to honor little lord jesus

Who lay safely in his straw filled bed

Bearing gifts they blessed the arrival

Of their newborn King

The angels then began to sing

For peace on earth and the blessing of the newborn king

So each year in honor of his memory

We remember his coming with gifts and prayers for our loved ones

We offer time and food for the needy

We are both thankful and grateful for all that has been given to us

At the sacrifice of the little lord Jesus
