Santa Said To Jesus

Santa challenged Jesus,
his words were cold as ice;
"I bring toys and happiness"
"I love this festive life"

"I travel around the world,
bringing lots of cheer"
"I have my own shop,
with strapping reindeer"

"I can fly up a chimney,
with a finger aside my nose"
"My elves are working daily,
with bells upon their toes"

"I have a huge mansion,
beyond the North Pole"
"Everybody loves me,
from the youngest to the old"

"I can see the naughty,
the nice and witty too"
"Tell me, dear Jesus,
what exactly can you do?"

Jesus answered quickly,
And this is what he said,
"I can heal the sick,
and even raise the dead"

"I can walk on water,
make a blind man see"
"Your elves are my disciples,
who follow faithfully"

"You say you have a mansion?"
"My Father has many"
"My children's humble prayers,
are answered by me"

"I can turn water,
to the purest of wine"
"I can cast out demons,
to the lowest of swine"

"I can soothe mighty seas,
I can feed the multitude"
"I gave my life for sinners,
you're one I must include"

"I was born for a purpose,
do not forsake this cause"
"Without my resurrection,
there'd be no Santa Claus"

"I will have the final word,
prepare for Judgement Day"
Santa bowed to Jesus,
he began to weep and pray

Santa visits once a year,
Jesus is twenty-four seven;
Ho, ho, ho, and mistletoe,
won't get you into heaven

Merry Christmas!

I liked this. Life's a constant battle for a sinner who believes.

Strange how by reading some of your comments I was drawn to come read your work. I had a feeling you were a brother. God bless indeed.
