The Christmas Donkey
I was just a little donkey
carrying a Special Load.
A weary Joseph led me...
and on my back, Mary Rode.
Mary was tired and cold
and needed a place to rest.
I tried to walk gently,
eager to do my best.
Inns in Bethlehem were crowded !!
No Innkeeper could let her stay
and could only offer them
A stable with a manger of hay.
Noise of the animals awoke me...
and I glanced at the Manger bed..
I witnessed that night, A MIRACLE!!!
The Baby laid down His Sweet Head..
Of all the other donkeys ..
I was most blessed than all of them...
Because I was the chosen donkey
to take Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem
