Series looks at the young man who made the manger for the baby Jesus and then some strange turns happen.

I had just begun to work with wood
The manger I made was pretty good.
There were flaws in a place or two
but for a barn this would have to do.
The straw covered every mistake
and pressure didn’t make it shake.
I barely finished this first task
when I heard a strange couple ask
if they could come and spend the night
I he told them it was alright.
I took my tools so I could leave.
I guess I must have been so naïve.
I didn’t ask why they were there
and why he gave her special care
Quickly I learned the reason why
when that baby began to cry.
I watched as they lovingly laid
him in that manger I had made.
Years had passed since that special night
that brought my heart such great delight
and I was ordered by my boss
to use my skills to make a cross.
I didn’t know whom it was for
when I took it out of the door
and placed it on the shoulder of
that one whose life brought so much love
