Guiding Light

Bethlehem Star

His Star

In the Eastern sky

Was a sign

Of His birth

Pointing towards Bethlehem

Leading Wise Men

Shadorma

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Matthew 2:1-2 KJV

Lost in the Fog

Fog, Names of God, Jesus
Foggy Christmas Eve.

Needing a Daystar and Guide

To help find the Way.

Who will be my guiding Light?

Who’ll my Helper be,

In this world of dark and fright?

Lost in the darkness,

Crying out to the King on high!

He sends to earth His Prince of Peace.

Choka

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. –Jesus.       John 12:46

A Tribute to a Light House

Light House.
Beacon of light,
Leading us safely to shore.
Keep us from danger as we explore.
Shine bright!

Tall tower.
Our guiding light,
Shining out over the sea,
Bringing each vessel safely to thee.
Keep on!

Sentry.
Even in fog,
Your horns sound deep and loud,
To warn us of the foggy shroud.
Our hope!

Striped one.
Each day and night,
You show us the right way,
So that on course we can safely stay.
Stand tall!

Sea guide.
Security,
You give in sight and sound,
To us, whenever you are around.
Thank you!

This poem was written in honor of National Lighthouse Day.  On August 7, 1789, the United States Congress approved an act for the “establishment and support of Lighthouse, Beacons, Buoys, and Public Piers.”  It was two hundred years later that Congress designated August 7 as National Lighthouse Day.
