Christmas

Christmas is a happy time, with much to celebrate,

The coming of a baby who would change all people’s fate,

The fact that through two thousand years, the birth of that small boy

Has been remembered every year, with such a  sense of joy.

The story of a woman who’s response to what she heard

Meant that she would bear a son, her heavenly Father’s Word;

All the customs that have grown throughout the ensuing years,

Helping to bring happiness, dispelling people’s fears;

The message that the angels brought, regarding peace on earth,

Which everyone associates with that miraculous birth.

Christmas is a time when all should think about the past

That date when God sent down His Son to save mankind at last.
