* Star Rises In the east, The three magi, Scholars from afar Follow its guiding light Over hills and through deserts To a small town called Bethlehem, There pay homage to the new born king Bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Written 22nd December 2020. Wishing everyone a merry Christmas or (happy holidays) and a better new year for us all.

I missed this one somehow. A late Christmas wish is enjoyed in February. They are saying now that we might still be wearing masks into 2022. I am not happy about that. I hope they get more vaccinations out so that we all can be safe from getting sick. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara

Thank you very much Sara, Christmas seems such a long time ago now. I think the way things are going we can write this year off too. Hope you're well. Tom

Well, that makes me look a right ’nana. I actually thought the magi was something out of Star Wars... In my defence, I never studied religion in any great depth. So, nice poem, Tom, and I shall consider myself slightly better educated. Terry
