By a fir tree in the wood sat a little shepherd boy <br />He had lost a lamb along the way and he wondered <br />why he had gone astray. As he walked back over the <br />muddy track the cold air blew down his back. He travelled <br />on about a mile then he began to smile. <br />He saw a light that he had not seen before and a stable <br />that lay heavy with straw. As he came closer there stood <br />his lamb all gleaming bright as if it had lit up the whole of <br />the night. <br />He picked him up and made his way back but the lamb <br />returned along the same old track. The shepherd boy <br />followed the lamb once more because he too wanted to <br />know what was behind that stable door. <br />It was there they found a babe in arms, full of glory and all <br />Godly charms. He took his cloak from off his shounders and <br />knelt into the straw and he thanked the lamb for leading him <br />through the door. Joined by Angels and Ark Angels the sight <br />was Heavenly. Now that door is open wide for all the world <br />to see.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-shepherd-boy/
