A Newborn Child

The Christmas breeze is blowing,
The world outside is
snowing.

The snowy branches
bowing down,
Paying homage to the
Infant born.

The night sky is glowing,
And the golden star is
shining.
Guiding the way to the manger,
Where the Holy Infant lay.

Luxury and comfort are all we seek,
Searching for more in our hearts so deep.
But true happiness lay in a stack of hay,
In the gentle heart of a Newborn Babe…
