Roy; He always existed in me as he has in you and exist forever in time. You're very impressive poem was written beautifully with a picture that's outstanding and complements and represents your poem so well. Your rhyming is done so well Roy that neither of your rhymes are forced nor labored and helpful in your rhythmic flow.
You tribute and laudation to our Lord Jesus Christ is totally represented in your lines and words: "For some say He's the son of God or just another man; but I say He's my Savior Lord who died my sin to ban."
Thank you for sharing and posting this for myself and everyone else and may you have a very Merry Christmas Roy.

"He left His throne" is an exceptional Christmas Poem that puts it all together and leaves nothing out. This is an excellent Poem.
This is my favorite stanza:
For some said He's the Son of God
or just another man;
but I say He's my saviour Lord
who died my sin to ban.
May God Bless You Merry Christmas.

This poem was true to it's title. The verses flowed nicely and the segue to each was appropriate. The fourth verse began with For. I think I would delete that word, it works without it. I found the last line in the fifth verse a bit awkward; I would have worded it, He placed His trust in Faith's Store." I thought the end was strong.

I have learned some wonderful truths about the lifecourse of this man Jesus, the Christ. Some have tried to paint him as some kind of superman. Forgetting that his purpose in coming to earth was to buy back the perfect life that Adam so foolishly gave away. If Jesus had been any moree a man than Adam was, the trade would not have been an even and fair one. Also the Jews have been blamed fo taking his life or at least causing his death. No human took Jesus' life, he willingly surrenderd it. This is a wonderful poem as it pays homage to the greatest man that ever lived.

    You are so right, when Pilate said to Jesus, He said, "nobody takes it from me, but I lay it down" John 10:18. Thank you for the wonderful review and great comments, blessings, Roy.

You have captured the essence of our Savior's birth nicely and expressing the importance of surrendering all to Him.
Changes I would make:
To save the rich [or](and) poor.
but I say He's my S[s]aviour(,) Lord

Dear Roy

This is a very lovely poem about the wonderful love of Christ and what He came to do. (Some of it reminds me of one of my latest ones which I hope to post shortly.) I especially love the last stanza:

"How could I ever run from Him
or find another way,
He's captured every part of me
my soul, my heart, my day."

He's such a wonderful Saviour and friend! I love the rhythm, rhyme and flow of your poem, as well as the complementary photo. Thanks for sharing :)

God bless,
Christine

A good, strong message in this Christmas poem, Roy.

I especially liked the message in your 3rd stanza:
He did not own a sailing boat
Or beach house by the shore,
He rose each day to heal the sick,
To save the rich or poor.

I had a bit of trouble with the following line -
with the reversed order of words to get the word ban into the rhyme scheme - the line sounds a tad awkward:
who died my sin to ban.

I enjoyed the read, my friend.
Rose.

    I originally had motor boat in the sailing boat line, thanks for the great review, sometimes the creative juices don't flow, that line reads better if you go back and repeat, overall it's quite even, I'll concentrate my thoughts better, blessings, Rose, Roy.
