The Flower at the Manger is an original Christmas poem that tells the story of a child who believes there is nothing to offer the Christ Child, only to discover that love itself is the greatest gift. Written as a companion piece to Stephen DeCesare's original musical setting of In the Bleak Midwinter, the poem leads naturally into the famous Christmas text: "What can I give Him, poor as I am?" Perfect for Christmas Eve services, Lessons and Carols, concerts, and seasonal celebrations, this combination of spoken word and music creates a heartfelt reflection on the humility, wonder, and joy of the Nativity.
