So Many Need to KnowSo Many Need To Know While sitting there unnoticed eating his piece of pie the people walked right by him as if preoccupied He looked like he was homeless His clothes were caked with dirt His pants were old and tattered and matched his holey shirt Each bite that he had taken was like it was his last He'd savor every flavor as hours seemed to pass He'd look up at the people a frown upon his face How could he go unnoticed? He seemed so out of place But then for just a moment a child smiled back at him The old man grabbed a locket inside a rusty tin He opened up the locket and there we saw inside a picture of a baby with sparkles in his eyes He gave the child the locket without a single word The room became so quiet Then music could be heard The old man left the restaurant He never did look back We all stood there bewildered Who was this homeless man? But then the old man's locket began to glow inside The child took out the picture and there before our eyes We saw a man there smiling with holes in both His hands We knew that very minute He was the son of man Our eyes became so blinded we couldn't even see that people all around us are desperate to be free So take the time this Christmas remember what Christ did He came to us a baby a manger for His crib He did this for a reason because He loves us so Now go and spread this message So many need to know Copyright ©2011 Marvin H Lane Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
