Three Kings in a manger
Three gifts they bare
On festive times, when snow flicks embrace trees
Behold a King is born, behold a life to adore
2000 years after, again the story is retold,
In winters wonderland, alpine trees welcomed indoors
Three Kings in a manger
Three gifts they generously bare
New seasons drawn, morning lights adored
New birth onto us; holy behold a King is born
Four friends became fathers
Four in Kings and Queens were born
Blessed; Donald, Eugene, Ismail and Peter
Were made guardians of new lives
A Father's joy, of fatherhood welcomed
Much love to share, and show to all
A Mother's love, of nurturing care
To new Kings and Queens born
2000 years after, in natures gift wrap
Again the story is retold
I like it. Connecting past to present, a biblical cycle, yet a beautiful dedication to friends and children in the modern. Nature's gift indeed...could there be any greater? Goes well with the soothing beauty of the music.
