Many, years ago, prophesy told the coming of  no ordinary child.
Entering Bethlehem, Mary & Joseph settled in a place that was wild.
Resting there, Mary gave birth to her firstborn Son.
Realizing from the Angels, a Savior was born, Shepherds did run.
Yes, they hurried off and saw the baby lying in a manger away from danger.

Concerning what had been told about the Child, they spread the Word.
Hearing, all were amazed what shepherds said and none were bored.
Raising their voices, appeared with Angel company of Heavenly Host.
Indeed praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest (Most).
So overjoyed, Magi came from the East, seeing a beautiful star.
They found house, bowed down, worshipped Christ, after coming so far.
Magi, then presented Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense, and Myrrh.
And Mary, treasured up all that happened & pondered them in her heart.
Since Herod was evil, Magi took another route in their camel's cart.
