Notes About The Poem

Christmas Meaning

 
"For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given . . . "

                                              Isaiah 9:6-7 

Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year
      a time of joy, kindness and of giving
        time for family love
          time to open hearts
             and also the beginning
               of Jesus's story . . . 
          oh, past Christmas memories swirl
       stockings on the fireplace I recall
      blinking Christmas tree lights and presents
snowflakes falling gently outside the house
memories coming flooding back
    the music, the food, the mistletoe . . . 
       now, I place a star on my tree
          to represent Jesus's birth star
           and I will go to midnight mass and pray
              and feel the presence of God      
               Jesus and the Holy Spirit within my soul
          and at home there will be togetherness . . . 
        my message  . . . celebrate Christmas day
but don't ever forget what this holy day represents
