Sandra Adams Poet Kyrielle

Born This Day

a northern star, a guiding light
weary travelers rest this night
swaddled baby laid upon hay
a holy king was born this day

the angels sang from up above
a triumph of heavenly love
the weary seek and come to pray
a holy king was born this day

the gifts they bare from near and far
as they followed this shining star
one darkened eve it lit their way
a holy king was born this day

this fair child light upon his skin
was born to save the world from sin
in a manger laid upon hay
a holy king was born this day

although so many years ago
this story we have come to know
it's not of santa and his sleigh
a holy king was born this day

Connie Marcum Wong January 20, 2020 at 3:39 AM I think it's very important for us to teach our children the real reason for Christmas. They have learned too the true story behind Santa Claus. I enjoyed your lovely Kyrielle. Congratulations on your podium win! xxoo Sandra Adams January 20, 2020 at 5:49 AM Thank you so much Connie... a friend of mine used to have a cake on christmas for Jesus so her children (and mine) knew the reason for the season but many children do not, sadly... hugs and blessings XoXo
