Maureen Lefanue Poet Rhyme

My Christmas Miracle

My greatest Christmas miracle 
Would be to give presents to the poor.
Take home the cold and homeless ones
And welcome them through my door.
Give them a Merry Christmas
That is such a great surprise.
Fill them full of turkey and pud;
Dress up as Santa in disguise.

My greatest Christmas miracle
Would be to offer them a bed.
A clean and comfy place to sleep,
Unlike the dangerous streets instead.
To give each one hot chocolate
Or coffee if they please;
To warm them by the fire
And forget the cold night’s breeze.

My greatest Christmas miracle
Would be to tell them they are loved.
That there is a God in heaven
Who uses me for His beloved.
To tell them they have a future
And are important to all heaven.
That Christmas miracles are for everyone,
Because God’s Son to this world was given.
