Notes About The Poem

It Shines, Still

*

More than two millennia have passed
Since that magnificent, dazzling star
Shined over the sleepy town of Bethlehem
To point the way to salvation:
A blessed babe, the Son of Heaven.

And yet ...

Just as all those many years ago,
One bright truth remains,
Gleaming in the night -
Wise men ...
STILL seek Him.
