I couldn’t wait to decorate.
I soon found something not quite right,
A most important oversight.
The Baby Jesus wasn’t there.
I couldn’t find Him anywhere.
As I put up the holy scene,
I wondered what His loss might mean.
What could have been the circumstance?
Had Jesus gotten lost, by chance,
And left the place He occupies
In creche and in my heart, besides?
Had I misplaced Him carelessly,
His image out of sight from me?
I searched for Him without a clue
And pondered over what to do.
Without the Christ Child in His place,
I couldn’t see His loving face.
No matter how it was He’d left,
My heart felt empty and bereft.
Then suddenly, to my great joy,
I found that precious Christmas Boy
Behind the manger, hid from view.
I’d not lose Him again, I knew.
“Lord Jesus, listen to my plea:
Don’t ever let me careless be,
Nor lose sight of Your worth to me.
Stay with me through eternity!
