Proud Star of Bethlehem

PROUD STAR OF BETHLEHEM

The Christ Child was born in a stable bare
Among all the animals gathered there
The donkey, the cow, the dove, the sheep
Watched in silence as He lay asleep

But up in the Heavens, a star shone bright
And to the earth it gave great light
Shepherds on the hillside tending their flock
Fell to the ground filled with shock

The sky was filled with Angels giving praise
To the God of Heaven for His marvelous ways
All the sights and sounds were great to behold
The greatest miracle on earth was about to unfold

Still shining brightly, bringing light to the world
Was the Star of Bethlehem, it's splendor unfurled
If I could have been there for the world to see
That Bethlehem Star would have been me

Eve Roper Date: 12/27/2018 11:35:00 AM Congratulations, Curtis, in Kim's contest, a beautiful Nativity poem. Happy New Year! Hugs Eve~`* Login to Reply Curtis Moorman Date: 12/27/2018 11:53:00 AM Thank you, Eve! I hope you have a great New Year. As each year passes, I see in retrospect where I could have made the year better. I don't make New Year resolutions, but I will say that it might be better had I consciously kept in mind the real Blessings of Easter and Christmas all year long rather than just a few days before and after each event. Blessings on you in the coming year!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/27/2018 6:40:00 AM Isn't it wonderful how people in many parts of the world celebrate the joyous event you described so beautifully, Curtis? Congratulations on your win in Kim's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn Login to Reply Curtis Moorman Date: 12/27/2018 8:28:00 AM Thank you, Carolyn. Yes, it is wonderful. My imagination works overtime pretty often, but I would have loved to have been that star. I try to live my life before others in a way that makes me shine as brightly as it did on that night. I pray that your Christmas was a wonderful time of celebration with family and that the upcoming year will be the best ever.
