I believe this type of poetry is difficult to do especially when you intend it to be a song. Your words are soothing and the reader knows exactly what you are sharing with us. Good luck. xoxo Kiwi

thank you. I wish I had a melody to go with it.
Comment from Janilou
I would love to hear this set to music. It is so calming and soothing and full of hope.
This was my favorite part:
Gentle, gentle was the night when Jesus Christ was born;
Gentle beasts came forth to see Him on that Christmas morn.
Gentle in the way He taught, with love and kindness, too;
And strength to do the things his Father wanted him to do.
Best of luck in the contest.

thanks so much.
I like that part, too, but I also wanted to make it relate to today-- to maybe make people think.

These are wonderfully well written lyrics for the Lyrics Make The Song Contest, Anonymous Poet
It is also perfect for the holiday season that's currently upon us.
Christmas has become so commercialized many tend to forget the REAL reason we celebrate the day.
Bravo, and best wishes to you in the contest.
