After Christmas

(12/31/11) Christmas is over and my heart is full of gloom It came very fast , and ended much to soon. I saw the hearts of people who struggled to bring good cheer But the only thing they was feeling Was doubts and lots of fears. This bad economy has spread worldwide And it shows in peoples eyes. But as parents- we’ll use the plastic if we must For in us “ our children have put their trust”. We can not dampen their spirits Or have them give up hope So with this economy , we’ll just have to learn to cope. The Christmas tree and decorations will soon be coming down And the smiles on their faces Will soon become a frown. But they have been taught that we’re Celebrating the birth of Christ And to honor our savior is the thing that is right. As the kings gave this newborn child gifts Then so must we , for this was something That GOD did see. Christ -mas was born because of him. Every birth is a miracle- as you see It in the mothers eyes Love and affection is something they can not hide. Although these Christmas holidays Are coming to an end To my family and friends His love I will send.
