This one was published in the anthology "Famous Poems of Today" in 1995. A bit seasonal in its subject but I like it.
The Christmas Child
Once upon a Christmas time
A tiny child was born,
In a tiny stable
Before the light of morn.
3 men came from the east
To bring him presents fair,
As he in a manger lay
Within the animals lair.
Above them a star did shine
With a heavenly light,
To show a king had been born
Upon that winters night.
Jesus still lives today
And every single year,
We still celebrate his birth
With song and Christmas cheer.
