A Tale Oft Retold

The glorious Christmas music
Rings out o'er all the earth
Proclaiming and exulting in
The precious Savior's birth.

In every language, every mode,
The Christmas tale is told
And it is just as new to some
As in those days of old.

Each year our pastor takes a rest
And lets the children tell
The story of the Baby's birth.
Small voices tell it well.

The little children in their robes
Sing of the Heavenly King
As did the angels long ago,
The happy tidings bring.

My flagging Christmas spirit
Hs been refreshed today,
By the singing of the children in
Their little Christmas play.

Joyce~
Nothing like the innocence of the children to send good goosey bumps up our spine~

Watching children play out the Christmas story always reminds me of Jesus saying we need to have that child-like faith. In spite of the number of times it's told, it's still so exciting. Your poem is delightful, as always. Thank you.

Joyce...The children always tell it best and it is so refreshing to hear their story and songs.

I remember like it was only yesterday even though it's been 30+ years my daughter played the part of the virgin Mary in her class Christmas play.

As always a joy to read you. Thanks for sharing...Paul
