it is said that this night was the most beautiful night. <br />every star in the sky was shining very bright <br />there was not a cloud in the sky as far as the eye could see. <br /> <br />yet! it was foretold to kings of three different nations. <br /> that a woman was about to give birth <br />to a child which would save this earth. <br /> <br />they packed up everything that they would need <br />and traveled on this beautiful night <br />to see this most glorious sight. <br /> <br />when they saw this child with eyes so blue <br /> they knew that this was true. <br />for this child had such piercing eyes <br />that it saw through them and touched the sky. <br /> his eyes gave the kings such tranquility <br />and a flaming desire in their souls <br />that this child they wanted to hold. <br /> <br />as they passed him from one to another <br />they looked upon the blessed mary and joseph <br />kneeling in the hay. <br />that they all began to pray. <br /> <br />they blessed this child with more than gold <br />for throughout the world this story would be told. <br />and even till this very day <br />we thank god in every way, for this beautiful <br />child who was born that night. <br /> to give all of mankind a belief greater than they <br />and to wash away-the sins that we are born with at birth. <br /> <br />they say that the location of the manger was never found <br />that with time it was torn to the ground. <br /> yet! people come from all over the world <br />in search of that sacred place. <br />so that they may feel his grace. <br /> <br />they feel his presence and know he's there <br />to erase all their fears. <br /> yet the search should not be on the ground <br />but thru his love found all around. <br /> give of yourself all that you can <br />and he will give you the helping hand.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-manger/
