A mother laid her baby in manger lined with straw;then, in the shepherds' story,his call from God foresaw.She nurtured him and taught himthe way that he must live. God's people had a savior.She had such love to give.Like Jochebed and Hannah,and Mary too, we knowthe hardest part of lovingis learning to let go,so when we send our childrenout in the world to live,grant us such hope and faith, God,and love enough to give.
