The Christmas Story

The cow gave a moo
The horse neighed too
The camel stamped and nudged the little lamb
The little lamb baahed, then went back to sleep
beside the bearded man.

The man moved closer to the warmth of his wife
As she snuggled the child, new to this life
And a single star shone - peaceful and bright
On a brand new tale born this night

The story was passed from shepherd to King
And a new way of believing was given wing
It whispered the wind and tickled the ears
It kissed thoughtful lips, emboldened the seers

It answered some questions, creating new whys
It bunched up its courage and learned how to fly
It flew over space and grew over time
Now dreams over you through my little rhyme.
