Silent Night

Silent NIGHT The silence of the night is broken By moans and screams Of a young girl Enduring the pains of birth For her first time. A Newborn child’s cries Echo through the stillness The mother holds her baby To her trembling breast. A husband sings for joy. An explosion of light Blasts across the sheep And shepherds scream in fear. Angels announce the birth. Multitudes of angels proclaiming, “Peace on earth and goodwill toward men. Shepherds pounding feet race to discover the child In the manger, among singing, praying, and shouts of joy. Shepherd voices loudly report all they have seen to all who will listen. All is calm. All is bright. Silent Night.
