Oh, awe! That precious star That pierced the shadow of night With a splendor, inviolate, Blazing the advent of a savior ... The abiding aspect of God Made mortal child ... A tender, earthly angel of Bethlehem, Brought forth in faultless but humble glory, To rend the darkness of humanity With love and grace, immaculate ... Oh, dazzling star! Oh, awe!

"To rend the darkness of humanity With love and grace, immaculate..." That's indeed why the Saviour was born. Praise God! God bless you.

That star that stands out, the one everyone sees, the one that you can almost reach out and grab hold of. Excellent write, Greg. Like most of your poetry...classical. Happy Holidays and blessings to you my great friend. Charlie
