A SACRED BIRTH

The earth sleeps in somber pose

No song birds sing; no blooming rose.

A quiet hush falls across the land

Winter’s chill in quiet command.

Muted light brightens snow

Casting shadows far below.

A time of reverence hearkens all

Who answer the message, the fervent call.

The call of the heart in seasonal bliss,

Jesus’ birth, a celebrated kiss.

A moment in time to celebrate love.

A Christmas moment from heaven above.

A point in time to experience the essence

Of a sacred birth when Jesus was present.

Once a year pause and savor

The royal birth of our precious Savior.
