At the birth of Baby Jesus <br />Three wise men did ponder: <br />Which gift to take for Jesus <br />This Holy Child ~ this Wonder. <br /> <br />What offering could they give <br />So eager as they were? <br />They would take some frankincense <br />They would take some myrrh. <br /> <br />'Myrrh', it is the bitter one, <br />'Frankincense' is sweet, <br />They were bold, they added gold <br />And made the ideal gift complete. <br />... ... ... ... ... ... ... <br /> <br />I wish you a Happy twenty-fifth December <br />and amid the hilarity I pray you'll remember <br />the Wonder of the Holy Birth of Jesus.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ideal-gift-for-baby-jesus/
