THE LEGEND OF THE
Christmas Nightingale

Everything was ready in the stable for the arrival
of the Baby Jesus on Christmas Eve.
Mary had lovingly filled the manger with the softest hay
that Joseph could find as they awaited the birth of their son.
When the Baby arrived,
Mary began softly cooing as she rocked Him.
Soon the birds roosting in the rafters began singing as well,
creating a comforting lullaby for the newborn.
But a little brown bird at the edge of the manger wasn’t singing.
He knew that when he opened his beak all that would
come out was a raspy chirp.
So he just sat quietly listening to the others.
Suddenly a multitude of angels filled the sky and began singing
the glorious announcement of the blessed birth!
When the sparrows, doves, and robins joined the chorus,
the small bird so wanted to be a part of the celebration.
Wonder of wonders, when he opened his beak this time,
his voice was the sweetest and most musical of all!
Ever since, the nightingale has been known
for his lovely signature song,
a melody so beautiful that all who hear it feel
the joy of that first Christmas night.
