Neil Kruger Poet I do not know?

A Child Is Born

I was there with Herod the king.
I heard his voice raised in panic and fear.
Often he would mumble about a threat on his throne.
Now I know it was a child he bemoaned.
I knew of his plan to be rid of him,
So with sadness in my heart I abandoned my king, 
for such a man I cannot serve.
 
I followed the wise men to Bethlehem 
and found the Child, wrapped in strips of cloth.
the Prince of peace,
my new King.

I knelt before Him.
A garment of purple,
befitting a King, 
I presented to Him.
