Exceptional Spending Christmas in the country outback Bush Christmas by Aussie Christmas Poetry contest entry

They sat around the campfire burning bright Sparks flew skywards, smoke funneling On this Christmas Night Bright family faces looked skyward, wondering How was it for the birth of the Lord most high? Snow covered the land as Mary hummed Baby Jesus, Emmanuel, gave his first sigh Joseph looked at his beauty, he was stunned The family around the campfire raised eyes A shooting star crossed the sky A signal to believers', trailing light as it flies The silent outback heard voices raised on high Cattle, donkey and camel came to see his grace Gifts of frankincense and myrrh laid at his cradle King of Kings, Lord of Lords took his place Born to sacrifice, born to teach all who were able A didgeridoo played its story song Family beside the campfire saw his star Worshiping the starry night all night long More and more people walked from afar Christ is born this blessed night Came to save man from sin Baby boy in stable bright No room for them in the Inn Outback desert people stared in wonder As didgeridoo told of his star burning bright A corroboree began as people heard thunder Bahaime was speaking to all that night Recognized Author Notes Contest entry for Christmas Poem: Bahaime means Great Spirit in our aboriginal language. The didgeridoo is played at Corroborees (celebrations and initiations)
