A
thousand gifts may come your way
To
bring you joy this Christmas day
With
brilliant lights around the tree
For
every boy and girl to see.
Yet
if you miss the One who came
There
is no joy that will remain.
Sweet
carols fill the ethereal sky
Like
angel choirs once sang on high
Of
peace on earth to every man
While
Christmas memories fill the land.
But
fear can tear the life apart
If
Christ no longer rules the heart.
As
busy shoppers seek to find
The
perfect gift with love in mind
A
voice breaks through life’s empty space
“Give
Christ a chance to fill its place!”
For
if you fail to crown Him King
There
is no lasting peace within.
God’s
greatest Gift came down to earth
So
we can have redemption’s birth
He
is enough, so please take heed
Receive
His Son, that’s all you need.
Then
you will find fulfilled in Him
Life’s
deepest joy without, within
--B.

You have a true gift of putting words, Papa. That is so true. It is so easy to lose the focus of Christmas and get caught up with traditions and memories and the joy of giving. Thank you for the reminder of the greatest gift the first Christmas brought us.
Beautiful Poem, papa!!! It's such a great reminder! I wish you were here to celebrate Christmas with us!!!
