Wise Men Three
Wise men three
you came from afar
seeking a king
you followed a star.
I can’t help but wonder
why did you go
what really compelled you
to seek him so?
The perfumes you brought
fit for a king
you gave them away
to a small babe.
Did you understand
who he would become
did you even realize
who he really was?
Wise men three
you traveled so far
lighted by a star
falling on bended knee
you honored The
King of kings.
If wise men still seek Him
I wonder how far
we will go seeking
our One True Star?
At Christmastime
(or all year through)
will we go out of our way
to seek the Christ child anew?
How far will we go
to follow Your light?
The only present — our hearts
a perfume of worship to give
so precious, so perfect
our only true gift
presented on bended knee
in our quest of Him
just like the wise men three.

“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”
Matthew 2:1-2 & 9-11
