Strange that it were shepherds,
the ones who were looked down upon
by the religious and the ones with status
attended a free concert of a heavenly choir
the first ones to hear about "the long awaited one"
Strange that the King of Kings was born
in a barn where the animals were
The only clue for normal folk were Magi
visiting from a land afar and bringing exquisite gifts
Every Christmas I paint on a little 9 x 12 canvas a scene
from the Christmas story, to remind myself
where my gift comes from
adding the package to the ones the Magi brought
