CHRISTMAS The three Kings from Arabia Were carrying gifts from afar, Over moor and mountain, Following the wonder star. Three months it took the Kings To travel, and their gifts to bring To Jerusalem, where in the Manger was the new born King. The most beautiful woman Was at the King Herod’s court. But King Herod with his riches Now stand for naught. The woman whose beauty to the World will always and ever be. Is the woman who as a peasant Rode to Jerusalem on a donkey. The man who won immortal Fame that the people know of, Was simply a carpenter. W ent by the name of Joseph. The luxurious olive is broken. The palm has its hour again, But the best sound of all is. Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men. —PAN.
