Tis the Season

Tis the season…
 To be jolly!
To deck the halls,
And dress with holly!

Tis the season…
For ringing bells!
For hot chocolate:
And gingerbread smells!

Tis the season…
For laughing children!
Singing carols,
Just stop and listen!

Tis the season…
To share a gift!
With great hopes:
For it, they wished!

Tis the season….
That brings us hope!
Yet it is sad,
Many can’t cope!

Tis the season…
Of much despair!
Poverty, loneliness:
Takes them there!

Tis the season….
To open our eyes!
See the hurt:
Hear their cries!

Tis the season…
To change a life!
Offer help:
Not shame and strife!

Tis the season…
To seek out God!
See why he came,
And then be awed!

Tis the season..
Of a blessed event!
The greatest present:
From God was sent!

Tis the Season…
To know JESUS’ love!
To receive his grace,
Then share a hug!!!
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY Poetry soup family and !!
May the glory of Jesus be upon you this season!!
