Days of Feasting and Gladness

MAKE THEM DAYS OF FEASTING AND GLADNESS - Book of Esther 9:22 Today we celebrate, History comes alive. Purim arrives this month, All people shall thrive. Feasting and gladness, The order of the day. History shouts the story, We live to laugh and pray. We are tired of kings and leaders, Who promise all the world. But become tyrants, When the banner is unfurled. The walled city has come down, The trumpet sound was heard. God led Joshua, He followed God's Holy Word. Why is it throughout the years, Evil men rise to power. "Destroy this race", they say, It will be our finest hour. Esther faced the king, Revealed his horrid plan. The monarch suffered humility, From Pur the humble man. We remember Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and such. The same godless deeds, Soon they were out of touch. Celebrate the season, Give gifts and love your friends. These are God's Chosen People, We support them to the end. RAYMOND V. MORGAN
