Birth of a Legend

A set of colors I have seen
Two complimenting colors
Red and Green
I witness them together but once a year
Telling me Christmas season is almost here.

Hanging sparkling glass bulbs on our Christmas tree
Thoughts of laughter, joyful noise, and glee.

I peer out the fogged window to see
snow fall
Snow angels, sledding, the snowball fights
The little children have a ball

The warmth to hang a stocking above a cozy fire place
Smiles unfolding on everyone's face

But with all that the seasons bring
And all the beautiful voices that sing
This in not what Christmas is about
I know in my heart without a single doubt

There was not a room in any Inn
For the Virgin to bare The One to diminish all sin

Born in a subtle stable
Among the sheep
Virgin Mary praises
As the newborn Messiah falls asleep

Shepherds come to admire the Lord's only son
Being the first to witness a Savior of freedom has come

Three great men traveled from afar
Being guided through the night by a shining star

Gazing in sight of a king
The angels among heaven rejoice and sing

The nativity brings the sign of hope, of cheer
Symbolizing a flawless man's birth is fairly near.
