Good to open the PH site this morn and find your Poem on the special Day. Very touching story, in well-honed quatrains, with rhymes and assonance, Felicitations, Poet-friend Valsa on the poem being chosen for honour on the holy festival. I recalled a hymn we sang with Miss Bain at the piano, long ago (1940's) in a 'convent school' in Kilpauk Oh come, let us adore him. May 'Faith, Hope and Charity' prevail. The word 'charity' comes from the Latin 'caritas', via French, as Wiki reminds me, along with a picture by Raja Ravi Varma. Our languages have 'dana' as a virtue and a constant ideal. I mark this heartening poem of yours 8. AM ,

So much has been said, and truly so, by my dear friends of this Forum that each one of them seems to be mindful of what I feel about the literary, humanitarian and emotional aspects of the poem. Thank you, Valsa ji for a great Christmas poem the narrative of which gently descends on the reader's heart.and stays there with its message of love and compassion.

The little boy believed Jesus has answered his prayer In the guise of a man he has never before seen With rising delight, he saw a star in the graying sky It shone right over his head with a brighter sheen. Yes God helps us in this way, a nice poem.................10
