In My Christmas Globe
Behold my Christmas globe!
Stuck there is a family portrait
radiating serenity bliss
exuding gladness, glowing with contentment
projecting contagious smiles of perpetual triumph
asserting gratitude of purity’s essence
captivating my heart.
In my Christmas globe…
nativity-scene revival flashes:
manger birth of the Saviour Emmanuel*
midst earth parents, Mary and Joseph
angels’ carols gloriously reverberate
“Peace on earth, good will to men…”
delighting my spirit.
Glued to my Christmas globe
I offer to God my thanksgiving praise
for His granted gift: life everlasting
through His Son Who left His throne of glory
living humbly in a mortal home
genuine giving He exemplified
empowering my faith's commitment to share.
*Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
