CHRISTMAS IN THE BARN


CHRISTMAS IN THE BARN


THEIR HALOS WERE CROOKED
THEIR WINGS THEY WERE BENT
THEIR POSTURES MOST UN-ANGELIC

BUT PARENTS
AND FRIENDS
THOUGHT THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL

AS THEY
FROM THE TOP OF BALES OF STRAW
TOLD ONCE MORE THE CHRISTMAS TALE

THE PARENTS WERE CHILDREN AGAIN
TAUGHT BY THEIR CHILDREN
THAT BENEATH ALL THE CHRISTMAS LEGENDS
THE MAGIC OF SANTA
AND HIS ELVES

WAS A VERY SIMPLE STORY

A CHILD WAS BORN

NOW WHETHER THERE WERE SHEPHERDS
AND WISE MEN I DO NOT KNOW

BUT A CHILD WAS BORN

GOD MADE FLESH

GIVING DIGNITY TO ALL PEOPLE
AND A MESSAGE

LOVE OTHERS
AS YOU WOULD LOVE ME

GIVE THE HOMELESS
THE DESTITUTE
THE LONELY SHELTER
AND ASK WHY

FRANK A VOLLMER
