(12/13/12) <br /> <br />Underneath the moonless sky, the Christmas <br />Star caught my eye. <br />Every year it comes into plain sight <br />At the stroke of midnight. <br /> <br />To remind us of the birth of his son <br />The one and only one. <br />He was sent to earth to take away the sins of man <br />For humanity needed a helping hand. <br /> <br />He was born in a manger in Bethlehem <br />When the star first shone then. <br />It lit up the sky so clear and bright <br />And stayed that way throughout the night. <br /> <br />The choir of angels began to sing <br />As they praised the new born king. <br />The kings had traveled very far <br />Following this Christmas star. <br /> <br />When they arrived - there he laid <br />In a manger which was covered with hay. <br />Joseph and Mary kneeling by his side <br />As his eyes opened wide. <br /> <br />Acknowledging the three kings <br />And the gifts they did bring. <br />Since then we celebrate the birth of Christ <br />As gifts are given out that night. <br /> <br />© L.
