Occasional Poem by Evelyn Smith
I'd like to share an Epiphany just before the Christmas season begins: Sainted, wise virgins will contend it's best to wait for truly wise men, for upon January 6th, several Magi upon Bethlehem did descend, bearing gifts for the Christ Child of gold, frankincense, and myrrh while on this day, some followers of Jesus His baptism recall. Of course, after lamenting their indebtedness and paying arrears, most Post Moderns bemoan getting rid of the tree so late in the year.
