LITTLE LAMBS AT CHRISTMAS.

Each year we faithfully 'dig' out our little plastic lambs from the Christmas drawer,- how could we discard them after all these years? Ofcourse they still want to be part of the scene, they want to be there, ---they were the first visitors!- So out they come, even if a bit wobbly now, and always add that much needed dimension to our little Nativity Scene.And ofcourse they are happy!

Little Lamb who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Gave thee life, and bid thee feed

By the stream and o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing,woolly, bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the hills rejoice?

Little lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,

Little Lamb I'll tell thee:

He is called by thy name,

For He calls himself a Lamb.

He is meek and He is mild

He became a little child.

I a child and thou a Lamb,

We are called by his name.

Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Little Lamb, God bless thee!

William Blake------The Lamb.
