Christmas Countdown Poem 2022: 24. Mary and Joseph Rode a Donkey


That perilous night,
2000 years ago,
A mother and father to be,
Went on the long road,
Or so the story goes.
***
Whether you follow,
Or you chose not to,
The story of hope,
Is one we can all share,
***
The hope of new birth,
A hope for the future,
The hope we all desire,
A hope to hold on to,
The hope we live with.
***
So shed a thought, 
For the Mary and Joseph of today,
On their own long journey,
From home to away.
