A Christmas Poem

Lonely orb in the star-cast heavens,
Placed to herald the long-sought King.
Beams shine forth with Love’s Great Light,
Pointing the Way to Heaven’s Gate.

Did the shepherds see you first on the
Canopy above and wonder at your light,
Just before the Song of Angels
Pierced the Darkness with glorious sound?

Did the wise men see you first and know,
For they had watched with hopeful eyes,
Longing to learn of God’s redemption,
Waiting to honor the Savior’s birth?

Did Mary see your glow in her baby’s eyes,
And yield her heart to her son, her Lord?
And, what of us, as we wait for His return?
Do we follow your light ’til we find our King?
