Went To Bethlehem

Went To Bethlehem

By-Amanda D. Petty

Last night, I went to Bethlehem.

I met the three wise men and the shepherds.

I wasn’t surprised by the way they looked.

The shepherds were very tired from traveling.

They had some sheep following them.

The three kings looked rich.

They had very colorful garments on.

They were carrying gifts for The Holy Child.

I followed them to see Him.

The streets were busy, crowded, and noisy.

As we were going to the Inn,

The keeper said in his sorry voice,

“He’s in the manger.”

We went to the stables.

I went in and the feel was peace, love, and reverent.

I tip-toed to my King.

He was sleeping.

I just watched him.

Somehow, He knew that I was there.

He opened His eyes, and I saw them.

They were filled of concerned.

He knew me.

He knew what I was going through.

I had a longing in my eyes to be near My Savior.

His mother got this feeling too, and so she asked if I could hold Him.

I just nodded with tears.

She hand Him to me.

I held The Babe who will save me.

I felt Heavenly Father’s love.

We visited for seconds.

We talked and He understood my pains.

I didn’t want to leave Him, but I know I needed to.

I gave My Lord a kiss.

I gave Mary back her Son.

I went outside, crying.

There was a new star, shining and dancing.

It was like day, but I could see the moon and stars.
