Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Cradled Baby
Look at that child smiling in his crib,
Unbeknownst to him his importance, never glib,
He speaks when his mother couldn’t
Defend herself, protecting her reputation that shouldn’t
Have been in question, GOD giveth
When he pleases, and His pleasure’ breath
Give birth to a miracle child, carrying
The sins of humanity without complaining,
His resolve, strength of belief still
Affect people today, although division may kill
Each other, while he preached peace,
Generosity, forgiveness, compassion that never cease
To assuage the burdens, stress
Of those who follow his teachings, flawless
In their discipline in everlasting values
That keep communities united in varied hues.
Wake us up to your harmony, a symphony
Filled with blessed peace not a cacophony
Of brittle minds, unbending as they face
Change with a blackened heart turned to grace.
