Poem Title:
Poem
There is an old story, I would like to share It is about the one; we have come to know inside a prayer About a child who was born at a stable, in a manger, on a bed of hay And about a gift and three kings with a bright star, charting the way It was a simple idea, which I thought; we needed a reminder Whose birthday it is, on this 25th of December Because we’ve all been busy buying presents for everyone Did we remember, not to forget about His, when all our errands were done? We play music, we sing songs We play them over and over, all night long But haven’t we been missing out what it is truly all about Somewhere, somehow we seemed to be leaving something out To the children, Christmas is all about Santa; waving, at his sleigh Together with his reindeer while Rudolph, leading the way Or about Frosty the snowman thumpety-thumping in the snow While to bigger kids, it’s about a kiss, blossoming under a-mistletoe For the rest of us, it’s all about shopping and discovering what’s-on sale Or peeking outside, waiting for someone, who’d be bringing in the mail Or it’s all about, dressing up and preparing for that special meal Or was it about the joy and the special gladness that we suddenly feel? But don’t get me wrong, it’s all good Everything seems like how it should It’s just that we may be forgetting one little thing Saying a “THANK YOU!” to the child, to the Lord, our King It is… After all, his birthday we are celebrating And to his kindness, we do owe Him… Everything So let us give a moment of that day, as we kneel and pray And say “Thank You, Jesus!” for giving us this CHRISTMAS DAY.
