In John 8:12, Jesus says, "I am the light of the world." So when we commemorate Jesus' birth, we celebrate the Light.
The following poem is my take on the subject.
The Lighthouse
by Kathryn Page Camp
A light has come to save the world,
A lowly baby born,
It shines its beam on rocky shoals
From evening until morn.
When storms of life beat on my boat
And winds begin to blow,
The beacon shines across the waves
With its resplendent glow.
Mist and haze may hide the reefs,
Clouding up my sight,
But though they blind my eyes at times,
They cannot veil the light.
As lighthouse keeper I must go
And rescue those in danger,
For one in peril on the sea
Can never be a stranger.
The harbor light beams steady on
Wherever I may roam,
A welcome blaze when life is done
To guide me safely home.
