After the angels had departed,
shepherds discussed what they had seen.
Knowing the way to their lord and savior,
they hastened onward to Bethlehem.
—–
They found the mother and the father
and saw the child upon the hay.
And when the told how the angels sent them
everyone marveled at what they said.
—–
Mary remembered, and she pondered.
shepherds returned, while singing praise.
The angels’ words were what got them moving;
the shepherds’ feet had pursued God’s ways.
—–
When, a week later, on the eighth day,
a time made holy by the law,
the baby underwent circumcision, and was named
Jesus, to save us all.
