STAR OF HOPE They came to pray, on Christmas Day When, the Christ Child was born – They came to see, Virgin Mary Bear hope for the forlorn. Some from afar, followed that star Though why, they were not sure – At great expense, brought frankincense – Gifts of, spices and myrrh. They gathered ‘round, as if spellbound – Their eyes lit by the glow – For, from the bed, o’er Jesus’ head There was a bright halo. That Child did things, to poor and kings With the gaze of His eye – He gave some hope, helped others cope And some, He made them cry. Down on their knees, they said, "Lord, please Stop pain and suffering. Make all on Earth, of the same worth With the joy, that you can bring." "Please teach of love, from God above Shared by each fellow man. Show us the way, what we must say To fit the Heavenly plan." He tried for years, to end mans’ fears – Brought miracles each day – He taught His word, (not always heard) And for our souls, He’d pray. But, it seems greed, had sown its’ seed For some, ‘twas much too late. And though He cared and, always shared The Cross had sealed His fate. Now, all mankind, for being blind Must someday, pass the test. But, if lived right, both day and night Mans’ future could be blessed. So Christmas Day, take time to pray To bow your head and see That God above, will send His love For all eternity. Del "Abe" Jones |
