There he stood, sombre and wet, draped only in his long white beard, Watching the bleak hours and humanity rush by. Shivering and lonely, he knew he ought to die. Stonecold and shy he stood, contemplating, as to why He, of all was born - he, the Old One, with his dim Dark sight and ngid shadow, and as to why anyone should love him, A hopeless gnome, for was not he the founder of cold and misery To life in general and a good deal of humanity’ Of course he was. Furthermore, he had no sense of Chnistianity oee While he stood there trying to sort out all the why’s And the meaning of his being here, his gaze found the skies Awed tn wonder he saw a lovely white cloak Fall from the heavens and cover his back Suddenly a hand, a child's hand was touching his His frozen soul melted (what magic!) in a flood of light and bliss The carth saw him kneeling as he tenderly kissed The child's forehead Bells rang with poy and tnihons of bnght Golden stars twinkled and embraced 1n the night The angry heavens were transformed to royal blue and amber.
