what child is this, who born this day arrived on earth with much to say but, without jingle bells or Santa Claus there were not many who stopped to pause no, there weren't many who came to see that he came today for you and me save three kings from lands afar guided by light of one bright star shepherds also came, sent by angel choirs told that he was their heart's desire they knelt and gave thanks for this child born the light of heaven by Mary mild the one spoken of by prophets old, now come to earth this night so cold, coos softly in his manger bed knowing not the crown upon his head now again, we celebrate the birth the son of man come now to earth arrived this night mankind to save for our lives, his life he gave now sing we all this holy night as three kings did 'neath star so bright let us not now his coming miss or we too will ask, what child is this? ------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Hi Sven, although I am Jewish and don't celebrate Christmas, I see the beauty and the love pouring out of this poem. I do believe that Jesus was a great prophet and a brilliant, charismatic man...and I think that if he came back today and saw how the world celebrated his birthday, that he would be sorely disappointed with all of the commercialism. Christmas is supposed to be a religious holiday, I don't know how it evolved into the crass commercialism that it is today. Great work! copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

(smiles) Oh John, this is soooooo beautiful, I cried reading this to feel His loving face smile in His manger as the three kings watched over Him. (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is the perfect celebration of our Son of Love. (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Sven, What a thought, what a way to write about it. I loved the softness in this...it was almost hushed. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Yeah Sven, I actually feel guilty about not including christ(though I really meant too) but, at least some folks such as you included Christ, after all, it's birthday...anyways, thanks for the read...you did a fantastic job....Merry Christmas and peace! Nathan |
