Poems old and new

Silent Night

Silent Night


Softly did the snow descend.
In, came Joseph and Mary
Long and difficult was the journey
Entire Bethlehem was filled to brim
Not a single room for Mary to deliver her child
To the manger they went, where Jesus, the Christ was born.

Nightly shepherds saw the star, heard the angels in Heaven
Inspiring words from above to be forever preserved in mankind’s mind.
Great event to occur, slavery to be removed, for the messiah was born.
“Hallelujah,” sang the divine choir, music flowed from sky to sky praising the Son of God
Tonight, in the silent special night with faith restored, began Christmas all over the world.
