Notes About The Poem

 

The Christ Child

THE CHRIST CHILD

Starting with a visit from an angel
Mary pondered his message in her heart
The Christ Child is lying in the manger
And that's how His ministry got its start

Mary pondered his message in her heart
Not knowing just how his message would end
And that's how His ministry got its start
How her heart would come to be so broken

Not knowing just how his message would end
The Christ Child is lying in the manger
How her heart would come to be so broken
Starting with a visit from an angel
