As an angel choir that heralds a birth and sings,
A royal birth and beautiful. Outside the hope-held crowd
Wait like the shepherds of that first Christmas scene
When the Lamb of Love was laid on humble hay;
Parents appear- God give them joy - answering the loud
Sigh and celebration; no Wise Men, no! nor seraphim!
But the Father of Men attends in His love today.
Praise Him.

Marcus, there's no reason to say that it 'might have been'. It
is, and I trust that my own attempt won't prevent you from sending yours. After all, in a competition with such narrow specifications, there is bound to be a great deal of overlapping.
