Three wise men of nowhere <br />Without medals and kingdoms to claim <br />From the East they marched forward <br />To find the child beneath the shining star. <br /> <br />Three wise men in their glorious attire <br />Journeyed long to find the shining star <br />Stopped by the soldiers of Herod`s iron hand <br />Ordered to tell where the child could be found. <br /> <br />Three wise men of hope without certain ground <br />Only guided by the shining star in their mind <br />Continued to journey to find the child <br />And met the shepherds who in their search came by. <br /> <br />Three wise men led by the shining star <br />Reached the stable to find the child <br />They offered their gifts- gold, frankincense and <br />myrrh to a child, cradled by voices of angels. <br /> <br />Three wise men in our time <br />Only with their names and gifts from their hands <br />Filled with hope from the shining star <br />Met Jesus, the child, the end of the <br />long journey so worthwhile to try.<br /><br />Elizabeth Padillo Olesen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/three-kings-and-the-star-of-hope/
