This is a non-rhyming Christmas poem written in December 2012 by Elaine Lux; she was a College Professor and Doctor in teaching English at Nyack College Manhattan Campus. The poem is cited like this:

On a day long ago, a babe was born.
Placed in a manger, he made the way for everlasting life and atonement with God, now and forevermore.

My heart longs to embrace the birth -
yearns to drink deeply of grace proffered by this one -
heard about shepherds through angelic voice and song -
envisioned by magi through configured stars -
acknowledged by Simeon and Anna in the temple root for those who laid their cloaks.
But then "Ah!" so soon turned away.

This Savior for told in scripture outwardly was not beautiful to behold. Yet, he glowed with God's love, out of my heart I cried to him: "Unclutter my mind that I may renew in your presence imbibe your love. Let my cures find their cure in you. Open my heart, verily, to embrace the miracle of the long from Messiah embodied in mortal flesh to free our souls."
