Christmas Star of Bethlehem

(12/13/12) Underneath the moonless sky, the Christmas Star caught my eye. Every year it comes into plain sight At the stroke of midnight. To remind us of the birth of his son The one and only one. He was sent to earth to take away the sins of man For humanity needed a helping hand. He was born in a manger in Bethlehem When the star first shone then. It lit up the sky so clear and bright And stayed that way throughout the night. The choir of angels began to sing As they praised the new born king. The kings had traveled very far Following this Christmas star. When they arrived - there he laid In a manger which was covered with hay. Joseph and Mary kneeling by his side As his eyes opened wide. Acknowledging the three kings And the gifts they did bring. Since then we celebrate the birth of Christ As gifts are given out that night. © L . RAMS
