The Wisemens Wives

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: January 11, 2025

Have you ever considered who the wisemen left behind?…

There were three mates
who stayed behind
to run the home
the kids to mind
while Baltashazar, Melchior
and Caspar headed west.

The wisemen’s wives
were smart as well.
Their men away,
they’d buy and sell.
For months on end
they ruled like queens
because their kings were gone.

They had no clue
what their men found
in Bethlehem
on holy ground.
God-with-us was now with them
who worshipped Him with gifts.

And when they made
their way back home,
the magi met their wives alone
and shared with them
a mystery…
how God became a man.
