.
If I had been there in Bethlehem
all those years ago ,
I might have heard a baby cry
and went to say hello .
If they had asked me
to nurse the baby on his birthday ,
I would have held him close to me,
and somehow tried to pray .
Welcome to the world sweet Jesus
here is a gift I've brought .
A poem to praise the child
that Herod's soldiers had sought,
to take by force and kill
with their swords,
on this Christmas day .
If only I was there
in the stable where Jesus lay .
