Royston Allen Poems

Have you ever really wondered,
stopped your busyness and pondered
and taken the time to work out
what Christmas is really all about?
...

There's a beauty of character not born of flesh
a pure spirit of loveliness and righteousness.
It comes not from this world but descends from heaven
and can be seen in the lives of men and women.
...

Swing Open Wide The Stable Door
Come with me now and look down in awe
as into the manger we gaze
lost in wonder, love and praise.
...

The hand that created the universe
composed my life by each chapter and verse
weaving it in His Glorious tapestry
before beginning this earth’s history.
...

From a distance Lord I followed You
as I wondered what the crowd would do.
There undetected I moved with stealth
Keeping silent walking by myself.
...

The Infinite was contained
and in a body of flesh constrained.
There for over thirty years He remained
even though Herod was deranged,
...

It was within a young virgins' womb
that the Son of God was given room.
Because Mary the angel believed
and through the Holy Spirit conceived.
...

All my days had no colour and looked very grey
and I wished that my depression would go away.
Nothing excited me as I went through the motions.
No feeling of joy only such sad emotions.
...

'Was that thunder we heard just then? ' They said,
looking at each other in fear and dread.
'Or God speaking in a thunderous tone
to His Belovèd Son from heavens' throne? '
...

Unknown to me this event was to be
the beginning of God working in me.
For in Wales a seed was sown you see
that introduced me to poetry.
