Away far away and long ago.
In a special place in time.
Tucked away in the hills
they dwelled.

A quiet manger was their home.
To them it was the most beautiful
home ever.
Hay to keep them warm.
Plenty of food to fill their tummies.

Two little mice living in a manger.
Their names were Peace and Love.
They lived in peace and they truly
loved each other.

They woke with a start for there
were rustling of footsteps coming up
the hill.
Sounded like a woman's soft cry.

Closer and closer they came.
Peace and Love watched from the
top of the hay.
They could tell the woman was very
tired and her husband looked
very worried.

He made her a soft bed and helped
her lay down.
There was such a soft glow around her.
Peace and Love got closer.
They knew now that a baby was to be born.

The sky became clear as a bell.
The moon shined brighter than ever.
What a glorious night.
A babies cry could be heard.
Peace and Love slowly crept over to see.
There in the manger was the most
beautiful baby they ever saw.

Soon the Angels could be heard singing.
And one bright shined brightly on the manger.
Peace and Love knew this was a night
all would remember.
They witnessed baby Jesus be born.

They were so proud to be able to
share their home with this special
family.
Peace and Love never went to sleep
that night for they were afraid
when they woke it would have all been
a dream.

But it wasn't.
