I escaped from the world on Christmas day snd thoughts of poetry began to come .

I sat down reflecting in the silence and visioned how the first Christmas begun .

In the sky a bright new star shone that night ,reflecting eternity here on earth .

Inside the stable Gods grace was present, in all those who where present at the Birth .


A child was born in a stable that night ,wise men had walked for miles to see his face .

The child was given gifts from three strangers,who stood before him humbly in that place .

I thought of the wonder it must have been ,to see this act of love and charity ,

Then I though of the world we have today and how wonderful Christmas time can be .

I finished my reflection of Christmas
and returned to the world a richer man ,

for I’d found the wisdom of three wise men and insight of God’s universal plan .
