Divine December

Come! Let's await the savior's arrival! 
Let the cold, though wild, be not our rival!
Savior has seen season’s glee, yet trifle!
Let's make him see many a revival! 

Not new clothes; we need to wear new selves now,
To renew, doesn't a kite his self plow?
Poor and needy, like flies, here, are many,
Could we not be good patrons for any?

Santa is not Jesus; let's change our view!
Like shepherds heard calls from the angels first,
Poor should have their places on our church pew!
None in our eyes, from now, remain cursed!

The old tradition we need to cherish, and remember what it is all about. So commercial now a days, Money, Money. Great poem.

You deserve to be applauded for the compassionate thoughts you hold in your heart when you think of Christmas. It is not the festivity and celebration that is going to please infant Jesus born in the manger, but our consideration for the starving and the homeless.

Did you hear me applaud? I agree with all you have written and the worst is hearing someone say Happy Holidays instead of Happy Christmas. Ten out of ten for this poem.
