God's Gift

by Jeanne Grant


 

The night was quiet, the moon was high

The stars were bright, all wondered why

 

The time had come, the moment heady

A nest of straw was standing ready

 

All held their breaths, the babe was birthed

Our newborn Lord was on this earth

 

We take today to celebrate

The awesome gift we all did wait

 

Take the time, to remember why

The day would come, he would say goodbye

 

Thank you Father,

Jeanne Grant
