Veni Vidi Vici

I came,

Down from heaven,

Expected yet unexpected,

Into humanity,

Into your lives,

A little helpless babe,

I came to all.

I saw,

The eyes of hope,

The eyes of hurt,

The eyes of wonder,

At miracles done,

I saw your hearts,

I saw you all.

I conquered,

In obedience,

Into pain, unto death,

In the tomb I lay,

Down I went,

Then up I rose,

I conquered all.

    And Christ is a much better and worthier autocrat than any worldly emperor ever was.

    Wow! This is an amazing piece, Nicola. 🤗 I had to Google the Latin words in your post title: “I came. I saw. I won.”
    Christ came to us as a helpless baby, died to save us, and came back to live again —victorious!!
    Merry Christmas to you and yours!

      Thanks David, I was inspired to write this piece from the famous quote by Julius Caesar. He was the Roman Emperor who conquered everything in his path. Julius Caesar thought he did it first but actually Jesus did it way before him. He was truly the first to come, see and win it x Happy Christmas to you and your family.
