A child of light

I was a poor hardworking shepherd boy,                      Everyday I carried milk for a rich,                                            On an unfamiliar hot summer day,                                             I quenched my thirst with water from the pond,            Which was beside a banyan tree on road,                                 I rested for a while in the tree shade,                                  Very soon I fell into a deep slumber,                            Suddenly I startled by the new scene,                                         A bright lady of celestial beauty,                                           She carried a child of light in her arms,                               And she greeted me with a lovely smile,                             She asked me some milk for her baby,                                      I joyfully gave her some milk for her child,                       Smile spread over the face of the holy baby.
