AMID

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Amid the holly and the Christmas lights there is a star shining brightly.Amid the carolling there stands a forgotten family.Amid the crowds of holiday shoppers a lone figure walks with out-stretched hands.Amid the thousands of 'Ho-ho's' there lingers three wise men searching.Amid all the gifts a man-child is about to be born.Amid all the parades and marching, angels sing,'Hallelujah!' a new born king.Amid the chilling winds and frost a manger lies, forgotten and alone.Amid the happy family gatherings a child knocks on our door.Amid his calls for help we answer,'There is no room. No room in this inn.' Written October 27th, 2001 © on Oct 27 2001 12:47 AM PST 0 • 13
