When Christ Was Born Poem by Jerry Abrahamson

When Christ Was Born



When Christ was born
And bells were ringing
On Christmasmorn
And children singing

To church we will go
To praise his name
With faces aglo
The story's the same

great fluency witth the short lines and good rhymes. the last line sorta confuses me b/c i don't know what's the same, but the rest i really love and its nice that you bring children and song into it since they are always viewed as innocent and cute and pure and angelic and whatnot, sooo... yeah :) Kath

'The story's the same'...the last line perfectly echoes the cylic beauty of the ideas, words and the poem. a difficult read..i must admit...but sure has depths...it questions and seeks....m still figurin' it out.
