by Mark Weinrich

Gently placed in a manger
He humbled himself as a child.
He was despised and rejected
By those He would reconcile.

Through word and example He taught us,
Heaven belongs to the child;
Humble, dependent, and trusting…
“For such as these…” He spoke with a smile.

And now with rejoicing angels.
He looks again with smile.
As one remembers His promise
And humbles himself as a child.
