The Gift
In the style of
Lyrics
a poor orphan girl
named maria
was walking
to market one day
she stopped for
to rest by
the roadside
where a bird with
a broken wing lay
a few moments
passed till
she saw it
for its feathers
were covered
with sand
but soon clean
and wrapped
it was traveling
in the warmth of
maria's small hand
she happily gave
her last peso
on a cage
made of rushes
and twine
she fed it
loose corn
from the market
and watched it
grow stronger
with time
now the christmas eve
service
was coming
and the church
shone with
tinsel and light
and all of
the townfolk
brought presents
to lay by
the manger
that night
there were
diamonds
and incense
and perfumes
in packages
fit for a king
but for
one ragged bird
in a small cage
maria had
nothing to bring
she waited till
just before
midnight
so no one would
see her go in
and crying
she knelt by
the manger
for her gift
was unworthy
of him
then a voice spoke
to her through
the darkness
maria
what brings you
to me
if the bird
in the cage
is your offering
open the door
let me see
though she trembled
she did as he asked her
and out of the cage
the bird flew
soaring up
into the rafters
on a wing
that had healed
good as new
just then
the midnight bells
rang out
and the little bird
started to sing
a song that no words
could recapture
whose beauty was
fit for a king
now maria
felt blessed
just to listen
to that cascade
of notes
sweet and long
as her offering
was lifted to heaven
by the very first
nightingale's
song
