He Didn't Have to Be

This is one of my favorite poems, you might have to read it a few times to understand it's full meaning but I think that's what makes a great poem. 

He Didn’t Have to Be

He didn’t have to be
There in that stable
He didn’t have to run
To Egypt to save his life
He didn’t have to be
A humble carpenter
He didn’t have to watch
His family be persecuted
He didn’t have to be
Worthy of his calling
He didn’t have to live
That life
He chose to accept
His mission
He chose to believe
Mary and the angel
He chose to father
The Saviour
He didn’t have to be
There in that stable
