Road to Bethlehem

(In the Crowd)

I remember seeing them
walking on the road
on the way to Bethlehem
the long dusty road
the two of them,
scared, moving slowly
struggling along
she was heavy with child
He watched over her
holding the rope of the donkey
carrying her,
I could sense their love
their caring for one another
I wonder what their story is
where this journey will take them
