We have a wonderful bookstore, Ellen Plumb’s, that is very supportive of the local talent. The musicians, writers, and poets are invited to participate in, “open mic,” on first Friday every month. I am going to share what I plan to read for this December, First Friday.
Greatest Gift
A Shining Star
Does not waiver
Holds steady for
Kings to come
Not yet born this
Storied Savior
The Blessed Promised One
Three Wise men
From Orient lands
Travel to welcome
A King
For-told by prophets
So by faith
Precious gifts they bring
Would we believe
Would I follow that star
In this world of doubt and fear
Would we have thought it strange
And scoffed at what we now
Hold dear
A child is born in Bethlehem
Below a brilliant star
The Wise Men know
And leaders fear
This babe in swaddling clothes
We remember with
Poignant hymns
The Gift given that day
The King of heaven
The Son of God
Born on a bed of hay
