SHE WAS BORN IN A HOVEL
ONE CHRISTMAS DAY
AND HER PARENTS DECIDED
TO THROW HER AWAY
SHE 'S A BURDEN, A BOTHER.
MUCH TROUBLE TO BEAR
SO THEY LEFT HER IN A BAG
WITH NO LOVE AND NO CARE
BUT GOD IN HIS MERCY
SMILED DOWN ON THE BABE
AND SENT HIS DEAR ANGELS
'TIL SOMEONE WOULD SAVE
HER TRUE PARENTS FOUND HER
AND RAISED HER WITH LOVE
FOR THEY KNEW THAT THIS CHILD
WAS A GIFT FROM ABOVE
IF YOU ARE UNWANTED
BY THOSE WHO SHOULD CARE
REMEMBER THE SAVIOR
HE IS EVER RIGHT THERE.
FOR YOU, DID HE SUFFER
HIS DEATH, DID ABIDE.
JUST HOLD OUT YOUR HAND
HE IS THERE, AT YOUR SIDE
SO WHEN THE LORD BLESSES
AND SENDS YOU A CHILD
REMEMBER THIS POEM
AT LEAST FOR A WHILE
THANK YOU, LORD
