I Saw Three Ships

“Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh,” said Dorcas. “Their wealth, their prayer, their death. Three good gifts.”


My favorite Christmas story,

By Elizabeth Goudge,

Revisited every year.

A slim volume, just 60 pages,

But with resonance upon resonance,

Beauty upon beauty,

Until I find myself weeping with joy.
