A Reading From the Book of Reflective Understanding

Who was Saint Nick? Was it a military trick? Just like a Screen Actors Guild member You might remember St Nick made this thing stick By changing his name to Santa Claus Then magically he started breaking down walls Stuffed with love Santa’s message flies like a dove It takes faith for children to learn how to wait They have been told when most the world is cold This gigantic elf with eternal health Comes into their house as quiet as a mouse. Giving something to them usually left under the tree in the den. But what does this all mean in this children’s dream. If you think about it over that Christmas meal The subject does make one welcome with a warm feel Already anointed a King we celebrate this fact with songs that we sing. Jesus recruited bread when he wanted to be fed. His friends wrote things down and published it when Jesus was no longer around. An understanding on what thing are about Can be the true gift when someone is trying to work something out. At the holiday table interpret what it meant when Jesus was born in a stable During this time, they wished upon a star With new hope an answer will come from a far Does a voice actually come when this is done? Not really but, this is what was won You see Jesus gave his life and he really did not have a wife It was an awful thing since the power of be did not like it when they called him king Years later here comes this artistic portrait A man in a red suit who was deemed worth it Like a main character in a book Everyone imagines Santa’s look Just like the holy spirit who steps in to say never fear it. You do not see Jesus or Santa Claus But they are there standing tall In conclusion this is a peaceful solution That in the end and when asked to defend It is faith that is the greatest gift When one needs a lift Carry on with this delightful tradition Knowing full well it is a well thought out artistic mission
