Red breasted Robin
Soared into the air
Higher and higher
So high he did dare
Suddenly a noise
Then hit by a gust
He looked at his wing
He saw it was bust
He began to plummet
Gathering speed
One wing and a prayer
Are all that he needs
He lands on soft moss
and it does yield
He lay there winded
On back in the field
Hurt from the high fall
Battered and so bruised
He got up staggered
He was so confused
He looked up a star
He saw in the sky
Over a building
Must get there must try
Tried out his poor wings
One he could not flap
Weery legs carry
Needs rest needs a nap
As he enters in
Sees a true wonder
A stable view that
He must now ponder
Finds there a manger
With baby sleeping
Animals surround
For its safekeeping
Robin settles in
To peaceful slumber
Rest and something more
Helps him recover
Wakes to angel voices
Fill the air with song
Getting up rejoices
Never felt so strong
Wise men maybe kings
Visit baby born
Shepherds gaze downwards
at the start of morn
Robin flaps his wings
Wing broken no more
Its a miracle
Its not even sore
Filled with renewed hope
Gone with pain gone fear
Robin the Redbreast
Spreads Xmas cheer
He flew up and out
Left church to be free
Congregation watches
Their nativity
