![]() The Christmas Rose Her name we know as Madelon, so poor she had no gift... Yet HE was born unto this day, her Lord she could not stiff... But she was just a shepherd girl, and oh so very young... She was so sad she could but cry, as to her prayer she clung... God heard her prayer and so he sent, the angel Gabriel, who then but touched the frozen earth and brought forth gaddiel... Flowers bloomed with petals of white, and softly blushed with pink, then gently kissed with golden hues, her eyes could only blink... She filled her arms so cozy full. then to the stable goes... To lay upon the baby's bed, the pretty christmas rose... Allan R. Hall Dec 2003 |
