She Rests by a Manger

She rests by a manger
under a choir of stars
warmed by the birth
of her newborn son
as he quietly suckles
his mother smiles
dreams hope in her heart
three men they journey
to pay tribute to her joy
a prince of the earth
whose words and actions shall inspire
as his mother tenderly strokes
the smoothness of his head
together they slumber
in the night's solemn bed.
