Nativity Scene

By Annette Weed

Baby in the manger—

Was He at all

Like us when we were

Very small?

Baby in the manger,

Asleep so sweet—

Two eyes like ours,

Two hands, two feet.

Did He cry at night,

Or need His mother?

Baby in the manger—

He is like no other.

Baby in the manger

Grew to teach us all.

I learn from Him,

Even though I’m small.

I make mistakes;

He never has, never will.

Baby in the manger

Loves me still.
