# 16 – A SHEPHERD SPEAKS

It started out like a normal night.
We and the sheep were all at rest.
Nothing much happens in our lives
but on this night we were blessed.

Suddenly the skies lit up bright
and angels appeared with a song
they chose us of all society
we knew they must be all wrong.

Why didn’t they go to the temple
and present these special words
rather than to poor shepherds
and the animals and the birds?

With joy we went to check the news
to see if it could be true
and there we saw the parents
and a baby which was brand new.

He was born into poverty
and poor shepherds were first to see
so we talked about sharing the news
and we were eager to agree.
