Advent Day 11 - Soldiers on Watch

 
Matthew 2:9
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose, went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.

There are millions of stars up there,
And each one has a name,
But to those standing watch most nights
They all looked much the same.

Yet those who stood guard through the days
When that one star would shine
Must have wondered what it could mean.
Perhaps something divine?

They were but common soldiers there.
Still, they saw something grand,
Something that presaged miracles
They could not understand.
