They came.
They came on camels – (probably),
Lumbering hoofed ships,
On a shifting, sandy sea (wind, lea).
They gave.
Three tokens at least (myrrh, “gum,” gold),
Presents for the King,
In royal David’s household (foretold).
They left.
A different way. (Don’t all men?)
Time’s most Focal Point,
Confronts, converts, men from sin (Within).
But wait!
Were their gifts alive? (flesh, blood, soul?)
To hearken is best;
Obedience gains the goal (Not dole).
Dear Lord,
Accept these our gifts (howe’er fine)
Earth’s joys signed below.
Make them God forever Thine (Not mine).

In loving gratitude, Unselfish Lord
Use our sons and daughters to spread Thy Word. – eab, 12/73
