The donkeys brayed <br />And the pigs oinked <br />And the flies buzzed <br />On the walls lizards crawled <br />And the place was heavenly <br />For the young Jesus was there. <br />The stench was of animals <br />And flowers were not there <br />And gold was not found <br />And the place was heavenly <br />For the young Jesus was there. <br />The Lord sent the good news <br />And the wise men heard <br />And journeyed to the stink <br />Where the animals crawled <br />And found themselves in <br />A heavenly place, because: <br />The young Jesus was there. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/because-jesus-is-there/
