Poetry
Remember Christmas distant past? No child to us was born.
No manger scene or virgin birth, no need for swaddling cloths.
Remember olden frore noel, lovely bow about the lies?
And we opened every one . . . ne’er joy was found inside.
Now we can look upon the star, rising brightly to the east.
Walk as wise men toward His place of birth, to worship at His feet.
Singing glory with the heavenly host, as shepherds in the field.
Running toward the town of David, to see the new born King.
Think back to Easter yesteryear, no Jesus crucified.
No three day trip to hell and back, no risen savior nigh.
Think back to all those wasted years, spent searching far and wide.
On a multicolored egg hunt, meant to fill our empty lives.
Now we can look upon the cross, hanging freedom’s Holy Light.
Weep with all the Mary’s at His feet, as He bows His head and dies.
Race with John and Peter to the tomb, where the stone is rolled away.
Shouting glory, hallelujah! He is risen from the grave.
Before Him what awaited us? More fear and sorrowing?
No hope to bear the here and now, no future beyond grief.
A herd of dead men walking - stony face and hollowed eyes,
was the image of death standing always presently beside.
Now we can look to His return, as the trumpet call resounds.
Rise with all who trusted in Christ’s love, to meet Him in the clouds.
We will dwell in His new world, endless laughter, streets of gold.
No more sorrow, no more suffering, and His face we shall behold.
