Away in a Manger: An Acrostic Poem Inspired by Jersey Nana and Jennifer Wagner
Away in a Manger
A baby boy born to a gentle maid.
W onders to all those who prayed.
A miracle and amazing grace,
Y oung and old saw in his face.
I nnocent, purity, agape love,
N oble, gentle, snow white dove.
A ngelic wings surround his face,
M an could see His beatific grace.
A ngels sang heavenly alleluias,
N oels, praise and heaven sang
G od smiled as voices rang.
E legant Savior He from arose,
R obed in rags and swaddling clothes.
