The Night of Silence

Snow drifting through the midnight air, Innocence and silence endures with care. Lights glitter creating a blissful scene, Each time they glow a sight so serene. No one would ever believe this night, The silence so musical, such a delight. Now the shepherds march across the snow, In gowns of pure white with a golden glow. Giving the gift of lasting peace and grace, Here a new beginning for the human race. Today each year, we honor his birthplace.
