Foretold

 

                    A
                 symbol
             of Christmas,
           I love Christmas
        trees, especially with
       soft, shining lights and
      our fun ornaments from
   trips we’ve taken and places
  we’ve explored, or gifts we’ve
given each other and gifts we’ve
                 received
                    from
                   others.

 

                           But
                  as much as I am
           immediately reminded of
 Christmas when I see a particular shape
         of tree, it falls short of a star –
    a star that shone over the Savior of
the world, guiding people to the Prince of
        Peace, Immanuel, God with us,
   who was foretold long ago, and who
             came to give us eternal
                            life.
