The night was cold
And clear
The shepherd fell asleep
He did not hear
As a sheep spoke words
There was no one there
To hear
"I heard a Child was born
On this clear cold night."
Did anybody see
The bright star, high above?
Moving in the direction
Where A Child laid
Waiting to be praised
Said the donkey,
To no one there.
~*~
The shepherd woke
From a deep sleep
Yawned and stretched
His eyes searching the sky
For a bright star
Mentioned in his dream.
There! he saw it
He gathered his sheep
Mounted his donkey
That showed him the way.
Following the bright star
It led them to a barn
Where a man and a woman
Rested
From a long weary journey.
~*~
The man stood alert
The Woman, breast fed
Her Child
Whom the shepherd
Came to praise
As he fell on his kness.
He shyly said
I came to praise Him
He who was born, this night.
The poor shepherd
beared no gifts
So on his flute, he played
For The Child
A soft melody, to be herd
Throughout
That clear cold Silent Night.
A WELL WRITTEN POEM ABOUT THE BIRTH OF HIM, WHO IS ALWAYS THERE FOR US THE ALL SEASONS OF OUR LIVES. ENJOYED AND THANKS FOR SHARING. BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Love how you've captured the joy of the first Christmas,...really lovely William, ty. Panda :)
William! This poem so does touch the heart with joy! You've presented the Holy, Silent Night as beautifully as I've ever read. And what a magnificent gift the shepherd gave to the Christ Child...music from his heart; as I'm sure the words came from your heart on this poem.
Really beautiful!
"I came to praise Him" so the shepherd played his flute.
A beautiful recreation (with sanctified imagiation) of the matchless story of Christmas.
Praise Him with whatever you have.
And it was a beautiful melody for the gift of love for in our meekest means he is glorified the greatest. This one is now my keeper thank you William touched me deeply,

It just goes to show...If He, the Almighty, wants something heard...it will be heard... it will be seen and results of Most High, will be sung, fluted, beated...

Great, the flute music was a great gift to the Infant Child. And to think that shepherds were considered outcasts and not even allowed in synagogues!!! Truly the Lord raises up the lowly. Great poem. Victor
