I wrote this poem for last year’s family newsletter that we send out each Christmas.
It is one of my very favorites.
I wonder what it was like,
In a field so far away,
To hear the angels singing,
On that first Christmas day.
I wonder what it was like,
Traveling far from home,
To give birth to a baby,
That could never be my own.
I wonder what it was like,
To have no place to rest,
To know my heavenly Father,
Was giving us His best.
I wonder what it was like,
To be a wandering king,
To bow before the child,
Who would give us everything.
I wonder what it was like,
Among those who came to see,
Laying in a manger,
The one to set us free.
I wonder what it was like,
Those many years ago,
To see how much He loved us,
And just how far He’d go.

I love Christmas poems…some of my earliest endeavors were poems for my parents' family Christmas cards…I think the first was when I was in 9th grade!
Beautiful reflection to keep us focussed on the Lord in this season!

I really enjoy reading your poems.Thank you so much for sharing and I too wonder what it was like. I know this much, I thank Him for coming and giving His all so that I could be free. What a wonderful gift. Be blessed
