In a lowly manger
a baby boy was born
‘midst a town of strangers,

perhaps hydrangeas,
a baby boy was born
in a lowly manger.

A holy night changer
a baby boy was born
‘midst a town of strangers.

Could be called a ranger
a baby boy was born
in a lowly manger.

His life was in danger
a baby boy was born
‘midst a town of strangers.

He came as arranger
this baby boy when born
in a lowly manger
‘midst a town of strangers.

This reminds me of my favorite Christmas carol of all time....."Away in a manger." Also brings us back to the biblical story of the birth of Christ. Another nice entry. Best of luck.

"...We are born into the world like a blank canvas
and every person that crosses our path takes up the brush and makes their mark upon our surface.
So it is that we develop.
But we must realize there comes a day that we must take up the brush and finish the work. For only we can determine if we are to be just another painting or a masterpiece..."

1981 Javan (from the book " Meet Me Halfway" )
