Notes About The Poem

Advent Remembrance

Born in a barn manger of straw, wise men looked at the babe in awe; a star above glowed like the sun. At Christmas, God gave us his son ! Born to fulfill a great mission, now, Christmas is a tradition; but his work will never be done, At Christmas, God gave us his son ! During Christmas with love and joy, recall the children with no toy; those whose grief is never undone, At Christmas, God gave us his son ! The wise men came far bearing gifts, and we give to those we love gifts; but recall the birth of the one, At Christmas, God gave us his son ! ___________________________ December 1, 2019 Written for FTI Blog Special for Advent Brian Strand Podium Place 1 ____________________________ Poem of the Day, December 3, 2019

What a blessing, Jesus being born. Calculations point his birth being in the Spring. Makes sense to me. Being that sheep are out then, and shepherds are too. His death and resurrection are what we should focus on- more. Many Wonderful Blessings to you and yours. Congratulations Constance, on Poem of the Day. Happy Holidays!! :) Brandy
