Witness of the Shepherd Boys

Witness of the Shepherd Boys
By David J Walker

They said there were light and angels
who sang Glory to God

And told them not to fear
That a babe was born in Bethlehem
who came to save the world

And they left their flocks to see him
Leaving  sheep alone in the hills

With no one left to guard them
Except for the lions and the wolves

And lions laid beside the lambs
As wolves stood guard all night

As Shepherds knelt before the Lord
Invited to the light
