Merry Christmas

The tree is made of mostly plastic and metal, With blinking lights above its plastic pedestal. With ornaments of wood, plastic and glass, Decorate its branches amass. A star that twinkles like the one in the sky above, Placed gently atop my tree with love. With presents lying neath its outward branches, And children’s imagination as to what are the chances. They weigh the boxes and gently shake them too, Hoping upon hope to just get a clue. As wrapping paper gets slightly torn, accidental for sure, The children look so innocent and pure. A gift is a gift no matter the price, If given from the heart it has to be nice. With family and friends we gather around, This decorated tree where our love will be found. Before presents are passed out we say a little prayer, And thank our Lord and Savior for the love that He shares. Happy Birthday baby Jesus I heard someone say, You are the reason we celebrate Christmas Day. May peace and joy and love fill your lives on this Holy day, And continue to guide you and show you the way! Merry CHRISTmas to all, it came from a manger filled with hay, And gave His life’s blood so we all could receive the Kingdom one day. Merry Christmas….
