"Though passing through sad and sombre times, let us be gladdened by the joy and peace Xmas brings"- by Poet

She felt the kicks, this time more intense
A mother’s primal instinct told her thus;
‘Can travel no further, need a place 
To rest and ease your birth throes’

Mary and Joseph at last spotted a manger.
Temporarily secured from imminent danger 
Sheltered from the gaze of the ruminating herd,
She delivered the babe when darkness still hovered

There lay on the hay, baby Jesus haloed in glory
The one who came to script a new story

Singing with cymbals on that wintry night 
His birth was announced by angels bright
“Glory to God on high and peace on earth”
Its intonations creating rising waves of mirth

The shepherds, getting that message divine, 
Came in hordes to behold the face benign
They knelt down and worshipped the King of kings
While seraphs hovered around on petite angel wings 

On every Xmas, His nativity is duly remembered
And in all corners of the world it is joyously celebrated

On that night the star spangled sky glowed radiant 
Sending out a light- luminous and lambent
All was bright and calm that serene night
A rare tranquillity drowning every nook in delight

Waving a magic wand, he has come to reign
To liberate mankind from the bondage of sin
Across the noise and strife of today’s weary world
A festive scene of celestial joy is unfurled

The peace of Xmas, as it sifts through the air
Fills each and every heart with overwhelming cheer
