All creatures great and small,Softly their footsteps fall, Making their way to the Manger.Swift as a hare some race along,Eager to give adoration and song. Fluttering wings overhead,Birds seeking the Holy Bed, Making their way to the Manger.Par, far behind this eager throng,Little short legs are plodding along, Very slowly, but very sure,Tortoises wanting to go and adore, Making their way to the Manger.They have no voice to sing their praise,They only hope to stand and gaze.Maybe they'll see the Christ Child smileWhen they have trudged the last long mile And reached the Manger.K.
