A Christmas Child

A child born on this day.
               In a manger filled with hay.
       Animals are there to witness his birth.
      They brought as a gift of jasmine,mirth.
            The north star shines so bright.
            To guide 3 wise men in at night.
      Joseph and Mary his father and mother. 
              Raise him to be like no other.
    They taught him honesty,careing and love.
         Like our Heavenly Father from above.
          A child of God was born on this day.
               His life will show us the way.
                          Teresa Skyles
