Poem: A Simple Shepherd

Only a simple shepherd, leading my flock
Through the barren hills toward town.
How could I know that my life would be forever changed
By the star above me shining down?

Only a simple shepherd, I peered into the stable;
Led to see a little baby, lain between the horse and sheep.
How could I know know that the world would be changed
By this little babe before me asleep?

-Just a little Christmas story poem that I started writing the other day.
