Come to Bethlehem - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Like Joseph and Mary,
the shepherds, wise men
we come to Bethlehem

Expectant, journeying
hopeful, for a new beginning
the Christ-child, Love
God entering the world

Walking, as a man
sharing God with us all
on his journey, his days
from the manger to the cross
preparing a place for us
in heaven above
