And They Brought Their Gifts – v2

From the distant lands
following His star
from their maps, the stars
coming to see the King

Worshiping, bowing down
before the babe, his mother
and they brought their gifts
a foretaste of his life

changing the spelling from “worshipped” to “worshiped”,
because Blogger and Twitter said “worshipped” is a misspelling.
