Thinking back to Christmas
to the Messiah’s birth
the star, the prophecy
to the Epiphany
the visit of the Wise Men
to His natal bed.
The Magi’s gift a sign
itself a prophecy
foretelling the life and death
of her precious baby
the man hanging now
on the rugged cross.
Each of the strange gifts
fulfilled in His life
in the sacrifice of Christ
His gift of the cross
of staying faithful
to the plan of God.
