Gifts Of The Magi
Far off in the desert three camels came
Atop them sat three astrologers of fame
The starship led them through the hot burning sand
To where the baby lay in this strange land

They carried gifts for this baby king
Approaching the stable they heard choir angels sing
Their charts told them where he would be
Also the starship helped the astrologers three

Entering the stable where the baby lay
Hearing the animal's soft, soothing bray
Singing the tiny one to sleep
While mom and dad their watch did keep
They knelt before the infant king
Giving him the gifts they did bring.

Striking and odd at the same time.a starship led them through the hot burning sand? Some Jews have told me something similar once! but never through the power of poetry I will say! It really takes your breathe away just reading it !Very entertaining!
