The Littlest Angel

The littlest angel was thrilled as she could be!

Her Lord was going to earth, in a blessed nativity!

She danced in Heaven, full of spirit and happiness,

Hoping with all her heart to go with the heavenly host and sing with all the rest.

When it came time for God to choose,

She waited for Him to call her name to share the good news!

A whole host was chosen, but one was left out,

The littlest angel began to pout.

But then God pointed to her and said, “Oh my dear!”

“You must be one of my messengers to spread good cheer!”

So off flew the angel, quick as could be,

To be the first to proclaim the good news joyfully.

When she arrived at the manger and saw Jesus there,

She forgot what she was supposed to say, all she could do was stare.

Looking around, she thought really hard.

Then an idea came to her, in that holy barnyard.

Around the manger, she danced with all her might,

Swooping and swirling so lovely on that Christmas night.

All who saw it were truly blessed,

And then the host of angels appeared, and the littlest sang with all the rest.
