| Adoration of the Shepherds SCHONGAUER |
Cradle of Faith
Gently
rocking, faith is born
On a quiet Christmas morn.
No balloons or cake with candles
Just a humble man in sandals
With his newly mothered wife
Marveling at the Gift of Life.
 |
| Mary and the Angels by BOUGUEREAU |
Crunchy
straw and lowing cattle,
Little birds that flit and rattle,
Sheep with wooly winter coats
Watch the babe in manger boat,
In the darkness of the night--
Can this baby bring us light?
Little
seeds of faith are falling
Round this scene, yet to us calling
Sprouting up for thousand years
Driving out our doubts and fears
Growing 'spite life's stormy thunders
Into green and vibrant wonders.
