FIRST PLACE!! A small girl
Waits at the door
Watches the people
Coming to stay
Doll in her hand
She calls to her father-
"Dad! There are more people here!"
"Tell them to go" came the reply from the father"
There is no room here to sleep!
"But the mummy is pregnant!" came the shocked reply
"She cannot stay outside, and there are no rooms to be had!"
The father was worried; he did not know what to do
So he came to the door apologizing as he walked"
"There is only the stable, I am sorry," he said
"We will take it" came the voice of a fourteen-year-old girl"
I must rest, we have been traveling all day"
The little girl wondered at this girls courage
Thinking that she would not be as strong
And followed the pair to the stable
She found that the girls name was Mary
And that Joseph was her husbands name
And that Mary was told about the baby
From an angel who visited one day
"He is to be called Jesus," said Mary"
That is what the angel said"
And then she told Anna (for that was the girls name)
That she should go and get her mother,
The baby was on its way
Anna ran to get her mummy
And her mother came running down the stairs
She said that there was no time for a midwife,
And sent Anna off to bed.
Anna awoke an hour later
By a bright star shining overhead
She got up and dressed an ran down
To see Mary with the new baby boy
He was wrapped in rags (As babies were)
And laid in a manger for a bed
Then came in a group of shepherds
Who marveled at the tiny baby
They were told about the baby by an angel,
Told that he was a king
Anna was shocked to find that the king
Was lying in rags in a manger
He should be dressed in purple
Laid in a cradle of gold
Mary laughed and said
That Jesus was no earthly king
That he was the king of heaven and earth
But that earth did not recognize him yet Three more men came in the door,
With bundles heaped in their arms
They were kings, anyone could see that
But here they were,
Kneeling down on the floor
In front of a baby
And worshipping!
One by one they gave their gifts
Placing them down on the ground
Gold, and frankinsence and myhrr
Treasures fit for a king!
One by one they left
All these people of wonder
Until all that was left
Was Mary, Joseph and Anna
And Jesus lying in a manger
So that was the first christmas
Through the eyes of a four year old child
Who watched with wet eyes
As they left the nextday
But Mary was not sad
"We will meet again"
Was the sentence she spoke as goodbye
And they will!

RUNNER UP! Sorrowfully
staring, looking
the perfect model
stabbed, beaten, torchered, pained
hung upon a cross, dead
suffering and paying our debt
darkness covers, and darkness elliminated
saving our seats forever
earning us an
eternity of
happiness
