While wandering the streets of town
This lovely time of year,
I see the decorations that
Adorn the streets with cheer.
A snowy blanket covers all
While children laugh and play,
And people are so friendly as
They each go on their way.

And then I come upon a scene
So clearly made with care,
And many of us are so touched
To feel the spirit there.
I see the figure of The Child,
The dad and mother too,
And also there were animals,
A goat, a lamb, a ewe.
There were the wise men with the gifts
While angels were around;
So much was said within this scene
Yet not an uttered sound.

This greatest gift, was what I saw
While tears welled in my eyes,
And others felt the same as I,
That too, was no surprise.
Then as I leave with hope renewed
And warmth within my heart,
I’ll do my best to share this love,
With all, I will impart.
