Pathway She sought a proper resting place For she was giving birth Instead was offered shelter In the humblest place on earth What lowly bed! A cattle stall! The dank of beast and hay The earthy scent of hide and hoof The sound of donkey bray No comfort was afforded ‘Neath a roof that housed the wild Yet in this place the Lord bestowed The most exalted Child His garment was a simple cloth His room, a cattle stall His cry for life was heard by beasts Who knew no God at all But He would rise from lowly hay To heights no man has known And sit upon the hallowed seat Of God’s’ most lofty throne No king nor prince, no man of wealth Born under sheets of silk No infant wrapped in threads of gold And weaned on royal milk Could reach this holy pinnacle The realm of the divine The height of pure perfection And magnificence sublime Though He is King of all the kings And Lord above them all He reigns supreme but yet his roots Were in a cattle stall So high he dwells, yet reaches down To each and every man And offers to uplift our soul To places high and grand What greater gift could be bestowed Upon a soul as I Than this, a pathway to His place Beyond the starlit sky From dark and musty stable To a cross on Calvary He lived in humble righteousness And died for you and me Elizabeth Santos |

Liz - This is a great poem - and you didn't make any duplicates that I can see. I think all's well, and I get to enjoy yet one more of your beauties..  |

You captured Christ from His humble beginnings as He was born in the manger to His glorious exhalation in the sky so seemingly effortless and to me that’s quite a feat as a poet and quite a privilege as a reader. Thank you for sharing and God bless, -Bob |
