Happy Birthday Jesus

My mind oft digresses to a passed time and day And in thought I see a manger so far, far away. I visualize the first Christmas gift swaddled and fair No fancy gift-wrapping and few that would care. Millenniums are now spent and yet silently I pause Remembering this event, predating Santa Claus; I contemplate at length, why so few seem to care Demonstrating not angst for their soul and it's fare. Being overly preoccupied in the spirit of the season Oft captures my thoughts, from Jesus, the reason. At times I'm Immersed with seasonal things to do But to this gift of Christmas I will never bid adieu. So with Christmas upon us let the message thus be About a child named Jesus, whose mission was Calvary. Give the gift that keeps giving, one born in a stable For He did for mankind that which no other was able. Happy Birthday Jesus! Merry Christmas Everyone & Jesus Loves You
