Another poem I wrote for class. It's about Christmas.

Fully Man

Did he know who he was when he was born?

Did he know how much he would change the world?

Did he know that wars would be fought and stopped because of his birth?

Did he breathe his first breath knowing that men and women would get the week off from work?

Did he know that his birth would make mattresses and bed sets go for “half-off the retail price with little or no payments for two years?”

Did he know his birth would cause the mass slaughter of children by offending one person?

Did he think he’d disturb the masses by one saying “Merry Christmas” and offending some?

Did he know he would die for many?

Did he know his death would make millions at the box office?

Did he know he would rise again?

Did he know people would believe he never existed?

Did he know calendars would be based upon his time on earth?

Did he know his name would become a swear word?

Did he know anything?

Or,

Did he know nothing, and was just a little child, sleeping in his mothers arms? Fully God, but Fully Man.
