Christian poetry

Here is a collection of Christian poetry that I have written! - Rick

It was pointed out to me recently that there are lots of Christmas Carols written about Mary and the baby Jesus. The Three Wise Men have their own songs. Even the angels, the shepherds and a little drummer boy all have songs written about them. There is one key player in the drama that unfolded on that first Christmas night and I am not aware of any songs written about him. I am talking about Joseph.

Of course what could we sing about Joseph. The events sound almost like a country song. I can almost hear the lyrics being sung now –

My girlfriend is pregnant but I don’t know how.
She says by the Holy Ghost and I say Holy Cow.

She’s due to give birth soon and what must we do?
Travel on a donkey and spend a night in a zoo.

Smelly old shepherds and moldy brown hay.
And a rickety old manger where our baby will lay.
