WE THREE KINGS
On: Nikki’s card Blogged Dec 30, 2022, for Dec 19, for Christmas
Walking through the desert
With nothing but a star
For a guide
And faith in their hearts,
Three diverse men of distant lands
Passed with confidence through
the desert sandstorm,
Perfectly assured that they would
Meet their destination safely,
That they would be blessed
And feel honoured to have visited the
Hope of the World in a foreign
Country filled with foreign people.
And thus it was, three Foreigners were
greeted by Arabs, Jews, in Peace and
tranquility,
Midst troubled times.
And so, the wish for it to be thus, in all of Time,
For this people and that people, and
For all of the peoples in the world.
There was a pause in 1914, midst troubled
Times, Christmas Time in the war, and both
sides put down their rifles and sang of such
A meeting about such a babe born
To serve all peoples for all Time…
Such faith and deep beliefs, were enshrined
In the hearts of these three universal travellers
As their true story of Christmas, of Faith
In Humanity, for the good in each other
In Love and harmony, and their ability
To walk through the sandstorms of life
To celebrate, new life,
blessed life…
These three diverse sojourners became
Kings on their trek, just people
At heart, kings in their deed, honour
In humility, to bow to the shifting dunes
Of life to honour a babe, a future.
A Future…
–to walk out of the sandstorm of life
And into the acceptance of each other,
Of the daily spirit of Christmas
For all
And for always.
And may your God and our God bless us,
every one.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
everybody.

absolutely beautiful.
Note: the sandstorm effect is the result of
me spilling a cup of coffee all over it.
