The animals of Christmas were there for Christ it's true, <br />Let me tell about each one, in this poem for you; <br />First was the donkey who carried Mary, to the city, <br />And joseph walked beside, and carrying the Baby to be. <br /> <br />There was the Lambs, Who were with the shepherds on the hill, <br />As they cared for them, they came of fear and was still; <br />They saw the Angel who told of Christ, born this Holy night, <br />Then the watched and heard the angels sing, what a glorious sight. <br /> <br />Another important animal was the camels who came from afar, <br />Guiding those Wisemen, Following the special star; <br />They brought those wisemen with their gifts for the king, <br />Telling joseph and Mary, myrrh, frankincense and gold we bring. <br /> <br />There would have been the cattle, in the stable there, <br />Such lowly animals, would have given milk to share; <br />And being lowly and humble animals, is what Jesus was to us. <br />Because He came to give life, So He died upon the cross.<br /><br />margaret haig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-animals-of-christmas/
