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 December 7, 2019 In Praise of God Poetry Contest Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues

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

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
