This is a poem about the TRUE meaning of christmas.
                  CHRISTmas

I want you to know without a doubt;
what Christmas is truly all about.
It isn't the granting of every last wish;
or getting the presents on your child's Christmas list.
It isn't the lights or the tree from the store.
It's not even the fancy wreath hung on the door.
But the true meaning of Christmas
is much, much, much more.

You see, God has sent His very own Son,
to fulfill an old-time prophesy.
He was born in a barn, in the still of the night,
Christ the Lord, the Messiah was He.

As He grew. He became like His Father above,
His heart, filled with Godly compassion and love.
He took on all of our sorrows and pain and sin,
as He hung on that tree.
And because of his faithful obedience to God,
there's salvation for you and for me.

If we'd only stay focused on this Holy Child
and the guidance He gave through His life,
Then there'd be only peace, love and joy in our hearts,
and not bitterness, anger, and strife.

Let's not only remember this Child in December,
but each and every day all the year through.
Allow Him to be the Lord of your life;
for He loves me and He loves you too.
