CHRISTMAS
TEARS IN A BOTTLE COLLECTION
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poet
Matthew 2:1 NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. {KJV]

BORN TO BE
to Larry Skidmore

Three wise men
came out of the east,
Trailing one star traveling slow;
They came upon a sacred place,
That gave off a heavenly glow.
Three kings searching for another,
Whose birth would be marked by this star;
The babe would be called King of Kings,
Electrified, they'd journeyed far.
Three Magi with powers of their own,
Felt the newborn's holy power;
Worshiping there at His small feet,
They praised the new king found that hour.
Three men received three lifetime gifts,
That day as they shared their treasure;
The Lord's power surrounded them,
All three were blessed beyond measure.
Four kings gave gifts to each other,
Gold, frankincense and myrrh from three;
Love, joy, and happiness came from,
One infant who was born to be.
