Notes About The Poem

Pcture credit - istock.

The Magi

 * 
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.

Sara Kendrick February 22, 2021 at 5:50 AM 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 Tom Cunningham February 22, 2021 at 11:18 AM 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

Terry Flood December 24, 2020 at 2:21 AM 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 Tom Cunningham December 24, 2020 at 2:48 AM Lol, thank you Terry, may the force of christmas be with you. Hope alls well. Tom
