Nativity Tradition

by Marselis Davis aged 20

The story of Christ‘s birth
Is told every year
Yet it holds the same worth
And it still brings good cheer

The story of herdsmen
Tending to their flock
When angels from heaven
Caused them a great shock

The angels gave them news
Of a baby boy
Who was King of the Jews
And would bring the world joy

The story of King Herod
Sending wise men to find
The baby Son of God
Who troubled his mind

They followed a star
Shining bright in the sky
The guide from afar
Delighted the Magi

They found the King of Kings
Just as prophecy foretold
They gifted him many things
Like incense and gold

The story of Christ‘s birth
Is told every year
Yet it holds the same worth
And it still brings good cheer

The story of a Saviour
Born of a virgin
To die for our behaviour
And save us from sin

    Hi Marselis. The Poetry Zone is for up to 18 year olds. But as it’s Christmas, and it’s a nice poem, I’ll post it.
