Hi there

re-sending my poem.

Aurora of Christmastide    -      Marinella Proença

Josef and Donkey trudged down the path

Over rocks, then 'ways of cobbled-stone

Donkey nudged on to carry his load:

Hallowed Tabernacle to the Prince un-born

Viagem into Bethlehem's heart.

Stopped here – looked on…

Weary and hopeful, enquiring along

Good Josef

He needed a room

To rest his Beloved –

So patient but worn

Good Josef

He needed a room

To rest his Beloved –

She with child (to be born).

And so again

He stopped here – looked on…

Thanks Be! On thrice-try

A Keeper of Inn soon ushered them in

To a Manger: warm and small

No vacancy it seems

Across down the hall

Josef helped Mary gently to sit

On hay: spun gold

That shone by lamp-lit

Soon creatures witnessed the Birth of our King

'Jeweled Knight, Prince of Peace'

Myriad angels did sing

The Manger turned Throne for the Li'l Babe within

And trumpets they sounded

Sweet shepherds they rounded

In – the Magi strutted

To bow to our King

The Manger turned Throne for the Li'l Babe within.

Don't wait for clip-clops

Don't wait for door-knocks

Just open your hearts

To the swaddle-clothed King

Save your heart as a Throne

For Him and Him alone -

Peace and Goodwill

For you He shall bring.
