Sage men and women the world around,
many pearls of wisdom they have found
(I guess I'm not so smart).
"Love Jane, not Mary or Marie.
Have faith in God to comfort thee.
Learn forgiveness, your heart to free.
Take as your friend, your enemy."
Am I a "piece of work" or art?
I cannot change my heart.
Finally, Wise Men did show,
They lost Bethlehem, you know,
Their queens did wait,
Moronics arrived bit late,
They forgot to deliver the afterbirth,
Now there's no Peace on Earth,
"I don't want any more pets!"
No Mary ever said, but yet,
Peace on Earth would be great
For our human race, anticipate!
Three “Wise” Men “walk” out of a bar.
“Where’d we park the camels?”
“I gotta get some of those magic shells.”
“Weren’t there four of us when we went in?”

Three Wise Men.
For James from O’Pop and Nanna 2021
When James was born, three wise men
were waiting there with pride
to help him start, his new life
and be always by his side
To teach this brand new member
the things which he should know
and be part of the family
as through the years he’d grow
The oldest one was O’Pop
who would try to teach him fun
and about important things
now his new life has begun
The second wise man, he was Pop
knew about cars and tools
and even walking backwards
a trick not meant for fools
The third wise man was Dad
who would teach him right from wrong
and football, wrestling, and judo
so he would grow up straight and strong
James would make his own life
learn new things, and more
but remember the teachings,
of the three wise men
who had done it all before.
O’Pop Pop Dad 2021
We saw it up in the sky
On a cloudless and blissful morning
Shinning like the noonday sun
Rising gently but graciously
From the east heading towards the west
Not like a sun going to set
But as a king going to conquer and reign
To Bethlehem, a lonely village in Judea it headed
It's appearance sent fear to the heart of Herod
He gazed in confusion yet he could not see it
The chief priests and rabbis were thrown into sleepless nights
Searching for insight like a lost jewelry
“But whose star is this?”
It is HIS (JESUS) STAR
Come and let’s celebrate the Eternal King
Wise Men Still Seek Jesus!
Jesus is alive and wise men
still seek him!
He reigns in heaven and the earth
beneath him.
The one who was born in a manger
long ago…
Was to one day be the redeemer
for every soul.
As we enjoy the festivities of a
Christmas celebration…
May we take time to pray to the Lord
of all creation.
Jesus is more wonderful than
we can think of.
He’s more glorious than we
can ever speak of.
His majesty is a treasure
to behold!
His love is more precious than
the finest gold!
He brings to men’s heart
an unfailing love.
He is a precious gift
from his father above.
Will you join the wise men
in the journey ahead?
Won’t you listen to the powerful
words Jesus said?
His voice beckons a heavenly
and divine call.
Knowing Jesus makes Christmas
worth it all!

Wise Men Had Been Following
Wise Men had been following a bright star;
Distance they had been traveling was far
And in the night,
Should turn right;
With their camels they did start to spar.
Jim Horn
Waiting for the Wise Men
worried
holders of power
use their wile
their walls and wire to
separate and discourage..
we are waiting
each of us..to
waken as wise..
and to know that
wile and wall and wire
cannot separate
the knowing of grace
which when known
lights another
path home...
Each week they meet,
Putting on each other's moccasins,
Swapping problems and lies.
Answers to affairs of state trusted to the wind.
Examining man's shortcomings each time
in a new light.
The sun's rays finding their shoulders even on a dull day,
Reducing the size of any chips found.
Sharpening their wits, not their swords.
Each parting refreshed from the well of friendship,
Taking away food for thought and new perspectives to savour.
Taste buds still holding the flavour of a morsel well shared.
Each an inch taller for the rest of the day.
Minds well-fortified and free of mist,
For the rest of the week.
. Men with pretentious brains should use their knowledge wisely .
By ridiculing others , they make nothing of themselves
other than unworthy fools.

Wise men: by jimmy muniks
My place reside in the psalms
Without to slug I still not a lesser person
However it is greatly unwise to face raved armies
My sling clings to my every mood
Rejoices in my interactive power
To win I remain ecclesiastic
Without the intervention of my Samuel
This writing might in time
However I seek to be at peace with coexistence
And a place for others in my every mood
Especially to love specifically
This way I am not greater than Adam
For I am captured at my lest rib in flesh and spirit
As that songster perfecting to tune there
In palaces where life is despised
Nevertheless my song comes out well
I pay tribute to the psalmist
The ecclesiastic than I am
These years so many
I only know there was a house of David
And the Calvary of crucifixion
Nevertheless
I have acquainted my best with the cymbals
Banding tribute to this psalmist
I seek through before my time
Far away it is epic but truly my maker
I catch in my sight truly a place to seek
These years so many
I only here the battle of Philistines and lesser men
Wise Men Truly Love
Found myself finally at last
Out from dull and dingy past
Life crept by in front of my eyes
True love is only known by wise.
A globe so lazily spins upright
Sun by day and moon above at night
Caste their glow down upon this land
Wood's green trees and white beach sand.
Many people are friends but a few foes
With slanting stabs and cutting blows
Merciless shame and much cunningness
And joys of life these things they miss.
Guiding light is there before my feet
That shows way to the judgment seat
My own master won't be and am not
My God always to me means a lot.
Search will do and is what we must
Looking around sifting through dust
To find her how hard continue to try
Thousand deaths for her you would die.
She is only answer you ever will know
Because God Himself has told you so
Wise, fine men love but fools rush in
Which is why I know I will always win.

Earth has grown old
Angels veiled the sky
And night has gotten cold
To put to sleep the stars on high
Wise men saw a star
And found a treasure of I Am
Shepherds heard a voice from a far
And found their lamb
Wise men came from the east
In search of a new born king
They came to worship a new born priest
With glad tidings they begin to sing
They bowed and worshiped Him
Offering treasures of gold, incense, and myrrh
And to the new born King they hymned
As they sang the sleeping child began to stir
Wise men came down to worship
They came to share love divine
It was an awesome and intense courtship
In Bethlehem “wise men at Christmas” making the headline
It is the belief of the ancient wise men
That is worth a must watch and listen
That self control is the backbone of human character
While justice is one of its key chapter
Control of emotions and desires defines a human that merits honor
Based on ethics and laws from the hands of the divine donor
Being mindful of others at zero-sum and adherence to right
And differing of personal gratification is also a quality of worthiness
