Based on the Animal Parable Bible Story, Kirsi, The Little Lost Lamb is about a lamb that is determined to see baby Jesus. Facing friend and foe, she makes her way to Bethlehem and discovers that finally seeing Jesus was well worth the journey.
Here is the verse, along with the Christmas story in the Gospels, that inspired this poem and story:
Come near to God and he will come near to you. — James 4:8 NIV
Kirsi, The Little Lost Lamb
By Harrison Woodard
Once there was a little lamb
With fleece completely white
She left to visit Bethlehem
In the middle of the night.
A baby had been born
Announced the heavenly throng,
“Come see the new King
And join our joyful song!”
Kirsi trotted into the dark
She had to see this sight
God’s Son was here on earth
Here, to provide us light.
Bravely facing peril
Friend and foe alike
Kirsi made it to Bethlehem
Where was the Holy tike?
Kneeling at a distance
Outside the cold stable
Kirsi meekly waited,
“Would she be able?”
Mary saw the little lamb
And bid her come near
“Come see Baby Jesus
There’s nothing to fear.”
Where are you going?
What do you want to see?
Are you looking for Jesus
