Merry Christmas! A lady from my Dad's church asked me if I had written a poem about the Christmas star. I said I hadn't, but I would be happy to try. Since it has now been shared with its intended recipients, I thought you all might like to read it too.
A thousand
stars were shining in the black and brilliant sky
When the
Eastern kings were searching for a meaning from on high.
A thousand
stars were shining, but the wise men followed
One.
A thousand
lamps were beckoning in the dwellings on their way
As the magi
journeyed onwards through the long and weary day.
A thousand
lamps were beckoning, but the wise men searched for
One.
From the
flasks of richest perfume and the gleam of purest gold.
A thousand
sparkles shimmered as the wise men honoured
One.
A thousand
lights of Christmas now shine out in radiant joy,
All in
cheerful celebration of the birth of Mary’s boy.
A thousand
lights of Christmas, but they all reflect the
One.
