The Lamb The children dressed up for Christmas In their festive holiday wear And acted like they were the ones Who worshipped Jesus there. The "Future Farmers" got involved And furnished all the bleating sheep That grazed there in the pastures green As shepherds watched their keep. The angels gathered overhead In gold and silver tinseled wings And when Mary came on the stage They all began to sing. Forgotten in the Christmas rush, Back stage, a lowly shepherd boy Cried out with a blood curdling scream That all became annoyed ... "Teacher! Teacher! Can you help me? Please, Don't get mad! Please, understand ... I have looked for him everywhere ... Somehow, I Lost the Lamb!" From expressions on teacher's face, Somewhat upset and filled with rage, I could tell this was not the plan As children ran off stage. Oh, everything became chaos With children running everywhere While future farmers gathered sheep And penned them up with care. One sheep remained a mystery That it seemed none on Earth could find Until the girl who played Mary Restored some peace of mind. Yes, the audience was puzzled As on the little girl they gazed While out of the wooden manger A little lamb was raised ... "Teacher! Teacher! Please forgive me? Please, Don't get mad! Please, understand ... I had placed him in the manger ... And now, Behold the Lamb!" -Lighthouse Bob |

Merry Christmas Everyone and Thank you. I have been a Sunday School teacher for a number of years and have presented many Christmas plays of which I am proud to announce that none have turned out how I have planned ... but with children it seems everything always ends up perfect in the eyes of their beholders. Thanks again for your kind words. -Bob |
