Jean Mcloughlin Poet Acrostic

Epiphany - Acrostic

EPIPHANY - Acrostic

They came from the East, the three wise men, 
Following a star that Prophesied a King,
A Shepherd of Israel Immanuel his name, in a
Stable in Bethlehem Precious gifts and adoration.
'I'd like to worship!', Herod declared.
Until in a dream the Astrologers were warned.
God’s gift of love for New Year, as foretold,
is Christ the heart of Yuletide and light of the world.
