A Shepherd's Lullaby

Asa is the youngest boy in a family of shepherds, and he usually is assigned the menial tasks no one else wants to do. Like finding little lambs that might have wandered away from the flock. He was often the first to work and the last to eat. And he often felt all alone and lonely. But then came a whisper on the wind, and a strange visitor in the night with news to wonderful to be believed. And Asa joined the other shepherds to trek to Bethlehem, to see this great thing the stranger had spoken of.
