The Star of Bethlehem

One Starry Night


What did it take
for God to send
us his son?
To bring a child 
into this world?  

A world that 
would hate  
and eventually 
kill him because 
of everything that 
he represented? 

And yet the night 
he was born 
a star shone so brightly 
so that three wise men 
could come 
and worship him?   

The universe
celebrated
his birth
into a world that was 
cold and unfeeling.  

To fulfill a promise
to us who didn't 
even deserve it.
