Christmas was gone
before they got to the manger,
camels and servants grumbling.
“We saw his star in the east,” they said.
Mary wondered why
a sign from God didn’t get
them there on time for the birth.
“You missed the angel choir,” she replied.
They knelt before the babe,
offering gifts and hopeful hearts:
“What matters is we made it.”
Peace,
Milton
Thank you!
Simple and so captures the essence.
