A Critical Part of the Story

Not just in his birth, in his life
his ministry, in those who believed
all the saints, through the ages
all of us alive

A critical part of the story
the equality of peoples
slave and free, black and white
men and women alike
being called by the king

Wise, women aware of the moment
the coming of Christ
fulfilling the prophesy of old
there at the beginning
believing, by his side

Not just the Magi,
those who had gone far
the ones from the East
who had followed a star

Each in their way
part of the story we share
of the men and women touching
by the coming of the Christ
