The Gifts of Christmas
If there is one thing I love to see?
It’s the beauty of a Christmas Tree.
Decorated in festive finery,
It serves to remind both you and me
That never once, should mankind forget,
Christmas presents, which we hope to get,
Are the embodiment of Offerings brought,
By Three Kings, for a humble birth they sought.
These Orient Kings, led by a lone star,
Brought rare and precious gifts from afar.
His birth foretold by Angels and Seraphim,
Is now praised in Carol and Christmas Hymn.
With the giving of gifts, we emulate
Their Adoration, as we too, celebrate
The morning of that first Epiphany.
A time for Love, Peace and Harmony.
So let all Nations join in loving accord,
To rejoice the coming of the Saviour Lord!
And when placing gifts under the Christmas Tree,
Think on the lessons learned from this Three.
Give all Honour and Praise to Him,
As did Shepherds, Kings and Cherubim.
For there is no gift that’s treasured more,
Than the Love of Him that Mary bore.
Pay Homage to Him this Christmas Day.
For His gifts of Love, rejoice today!
In the meaning of Christmas, we must believe,
When those loving Christmas gifts we receive!
