Reading Michael's post I thought of this poem I wrote several years ago. Snowflakes are gently falling on this new December day, As cows and horses in the barn munch on grist and hay. The barn cat in the window and the dog on bales of straw, For them to while the time away is rest without a flaw. It’s peaceful in the stable when the morning chores are done; As I reflect upon the reason for the day that’s just begun. For Christ was born some years ago in a stable much like this, With simple folk to welcome him, and livestock if you wish. Some cattle tied in wooden stalls, I vision it this way, Low softly to the Baby Child as they dine on fragrant hay. Fresh provender spread teemingly in a manger such as these, To gently hold the new-born Child as he lay in quiet dreams. And I am dreaming too it seems of a simpler place and time, And I know that God still cares for a humble job like mine. He highly esteems cattle, his “all creatures great and small” And places them in mankind’s care, to look after, one and all. And so this wise I give Him praise for the part I’ve had to play, And to counted as a Rancher on this Holy Christmas day.Nebraska Cowman 1997
