If you were very pregnant the last thing you would do
Would be to take a donkey ride just to see the view!
Peasants were not pampered like Western women are
They didn’t have the luxury of travelling by car.
I know we’ve all heard stories of girls in paddy fields
Having babies while at work, to not reduce the yields!
But travelling for miles and miles on dusty mountain tracks
Upon a beast of burden while Joseph humped the packs!
I’m sure the poor man did his best to try to ease her pain,
As she was jerked and jostled, along that mountain lane.
Men can not imagine what women have to bear
And the best that we can do is to show we care.
We can never ease the pain but merely hold their hand
And whisper quiet words of love that they will understand.
It’s very like the way the Lord is with us when we pray,
He’s with us in our misery, though it won’t go away!
