We Three

We walked briskly in the cold

Whilst staring at the night sky

Beyond the clouds, the heavens to behold

And the One who is on High

Listening to the angels sing “Hark!”

And the bells jingle and ring

We bow before our Holy Patriarch

Bearing the Gifts that we bring

The little boy smiles and begins to play his drum

The shepherds relax against their staffs and listen

The Divine Child laughs as if he was never glum

His laughter clearly pleased the stars, for they glistened

The sheep bleated as they sang their song

The wolves, in the distance, howled

The chorus of humans and animals alike rose strong

While the evil one, who remained displeased, scowled

On this day, the Lord had clearly won the war

For the Child of Light was born, you see

As the excitement filled us kings, we sang some more

For we are happy that we came, we three
