God sent a star - to shine and light the way,
It was a guide to those who sought the light;
To those with wisdom to turn from night to day,
And find in grace, true majesty and might.
Tha star that shone so brightly long ago,
No longer shines to guide me through this life.
God sends us stars who gove a quiding glow;
For me none shine more clearly than my wife.
In her sacrificial care I see, my God, Your love for me;
And in her gracious touch, just how merciful You are.
So I give my thanks to You, O God, who let her be
My love, my wife, my shining star!

I wrote this and gave it to my wife on Christmas day that year. Inspired from a Christmas story, it is more than a Christmas poem. It brought tears to my eyes as I retyped it here. I am so blessed to have her in my life.
