Led by that light o'er Bethlehem, his glowing eyes looked up with them. He walked so far, this shepherd boy- drawn by a Star that promised joy. He joined them at the manger there to see the Babe, beheld so fair. More followed in a long convoy- drawn by a Star that promised joy. The site of Jesus touched his soul. In Heaven's light, angels extol this Holy Night- God's gift, enjoy- drawn by a Star that promised joy. Christ's birth in Bethlehem that night gave shepherd boy- new guiding light. His heart to God he would deploy- blessed by a Star that promised joy. Sandra M. Haight ~1st Place~ Contest: In Praise Of God Sponsor: Kim Rodrigues Judged: 01/18/2020

When I judge these contests indeed the usual suspects end up on top, especially when style and grace are in need. Love the shepherd boy, the refrain, “ More followed in a long convoy-”, and the shepherd boy’s heart at the end! Congratulations, Sandra, on first place! Hugs...Kim
