Lingering in the Stable by Raymond A. Foss
I wonder about the shepherds
coming from the hillsides
called by the angels
announcing Christ’s birth

They came running
to see the miracle before them
they would go and spread the news
to people near and far

Did they rush from his presence
did they linger by his manger
staying with Mary and Joseph
in the humble stable

Were they lingering in the stable
pondering his presence
what it meant that Christ came to earth
that God descended from heaven
