A Donkey's Tale

The burden is not great,
though the journey is long.
The time passes slowly
accompanied only by her sweet song.

We arrive at a dwelling,
but no room can be found.
We find space in a stable
where I, with the other animals, bow down

I see Joseph embrace Mary,
and dance with shout of joy,
for he knows the destiny,
of that baby boy.
