Shepherds and angels
conversing in the
shadows,
illumined by hope.
Good news
pronouncement;
Great joy! The one
sent from God
breathes earth's air
today.
Down in Bethlehem
while everyone
sleeps; at last
something has
happened!
No room at the inn;
so the man and the
woman
had to improvise.
Why do you delay?
You should get
yourselves moving
or you'll miss the
show.
Entrusting their
sheep
to the angelic
choir,
they went to find
him.
A baby is born.
It happens every
day;
what's special this
time?
This feed-box cradle
is offered as a
sign. Strange,
but appropriate.
The shepherds
returned,
sharing their
wond'rous story;
couldn't keep
silent.
