O Yule Giver

He seems like jolly Santa driving a beat-up car loaded with lots of presents and while driving he'll be caroling, greeting everyone waving at him; and they should put on happy faces, be kind to each other and exchange embraces... never thinking it's old-fashioned and bizarre! O Yule giver, reach out with your kindness, it's the Holiday Season...why be so greedy, and not share with the ones less fortunate? O Yule giver, touch them with your generosity and they will once again believe in love, not hate! O Yule give, touch everyone's heart with your gifts! The festive avenues are the mirror of wonderland, shops displaying animated figures with merry eyes, as music plays in a background of twinkling lights; why shoppers are in such a rush...will the sales soon end? Look at you, Yule giver...you ring your golden, glittering bell and spread the Christmas cheer: you have a story to tell! O Yule giver, remind them who will be born tomorrow: a Savior and King to take away their pangs of sorrow, will they believe you and gather around to listen? They may have never heard of His birth announced by trumpets: was a stable fit for a heavenly king who God had gladly chosen? But why such humbleness from above...to instill love in proud hearts? O Yule giver, you will dazzle and amaze them with a reading from the Holy Book, and if all stopped and heard of the Nativity story Herod hated: the smiling babe, who wears no crown would certainly look, and invite them in to worship Him whom a virgin conceived... O Yule giver, proclaim the Shepherd who promises eternal joy: seeing no color or race, but welcomes everyone into the kingdom of endless glory!
