Donkey

Donkey Pin back your ears Settle down for the ride And you'll find a warm feeling Somewhere way deep inside.. Here is a story That has often been told It's full of excitement and never gets old It starts with a journey You've heard it before.. There's Joseph, Mary and baby And donkey makes four. They travelled from far To Bethlehem's Inn Where a bed for the night.. ..well it wasn't a thing So the Inn Keeper showed them A place round the side With a shed and some straw And a manger to hide And here at the stable As all gather around The new baby gurgled a heavenly sound And the star of the show? Not the one high above It's this baby right here The one swaddled in love So here is the thing As our story unfolds.. The star in the sky Sends a message so bold... Like a beacon to signal To nations and races That this King has been born To put smiles on our faces "I'm here for this child so all people can see There's a star up in heaven So much brighter than me." So to ears that can hear And to eyes that can see.. A message of joy Tells of all that can be.. But one creature here Knowing more than the rest.. Having carried the baby Having passed every test Knowingly munches By the crib filled with hay That this baby will save us From bad things one day He knows that this child.. Is far more than enough. The reason we celebrate All this Christmassy stuff The greatest of gifts With the lowliest start For the baby is coming To reclaim your heart So pin back your ears Settle down for the ride And try not to deny That warm feeling inside.. @jinjagoliath December 18th 2021 @jenna.mckell.creates Image: With the Animals
