Christmas Period
Season of hope,sharing and merriment,
deep love shown to many as compliment,
assorted food and gifts bought for a fee,
the joy of giving has overwhelmed me.
Time to remember God`s love for mankind,
which is unique and difficult to find,
From slavery,sins and vile we were set free,
the joy of giving has overwhelmed me.
To replicate this we show gratitude,
making people smile is a nice attitude,
good act of giving only few can see,
the joy of giving has overwhelmed me.
Coloured lights and Christmas trees are in vogue,
enticing gifts can turn child to a rogue,
as couples relax on shores of the sea,
the joy of giving has overwhelmed me.
Carols,shows with fireworks create more delight,
which makes this performance a yearly rite,
as I give thanks and praises unto thee,
the joy of giving to others soothes me.
