Little Jesus

Johnny was asked to write a character sketch in school.  He could base it on any character and use any literary form he wanted. Imagine our pleasant surprise when he brought this to show us. I thought it captured the season well. He wrote it in one sitting right off the top of his head and heart. :)


Little Jesus

A God born a man,
Born from Mary with a plan
To save the world from sin
From the stable held within
To the cross were he died
To the tomb were he lied

Born in Bethlehem
As the prophecy said
As Jesus lay in bed
A manger for his head
A king they thought would be the one
But, no, a carpenter, a man born of a virgin
He's the only one.
