SUDDENLY!

 What happened? Is my poetry running out on me?


I will AGAIN write one of my poems for you...and hope that the anti-poetry pixie does not demolish it again....

 

Suddenly, the silence of the star-strewn night

Was broken by a newborn baby's cry

And choirs of joyful angel took to flight 

To spread the word to shepherds camped nearby--

Out of the East, three royal wisemen came 

To worship the baby born in a cattle shed,

A child who held no wealth or famous name,

Who was laid to sleep in a lowly manger bed

But nurtured and cared for as every child should be, 

Protected and valued, well clothed, well fed,

Not locked away in a prison of misery

By decrees devised by the vile and bigoted--

   Remember that God loves every child the same

   No matter its heritage, color, or family name 💗
