Since I am working on my second book of poetry, I thought I might post a few pieces from my first, pieces that relate to this Christmas season. Here is the first one. I hope it brings that amazing night into reality for you.
One Night in Bethlehem
She lay there in the cold,
cutting cold blowing
winter’s breathy wind
around cave manger corners.
Cradling her Christ child,
Mary wonders that it has
come to pass and wonders
How this child at her breast could be a king.
Joseph lay there in their straw bed
firelight behind her
framing her slim form
wrapped around the wee one,
the Son he was called upon to
father, but how does one father
the Son of God?

Carol's Notes 
One night in Bethlehem was lovely. Skimmed through interesting blogs from 2015. Enjoyed brief podcast by John Piper and amazed he wrote at least 70 Christian books.
