Ode to Christmas
| The Christmas season now approaches us And fills our hearts with joy and love and cheer; With such great joy we do not mind the fuss; We long to make this time the best each year. We try to think of presents we could give To friends and relatives we love so well; Yet presents given by the way we live Might be a better way our love to tell; For service, kindness, honesty and love Are things that Jesus taught while here on earth. These gifts would please our Father up above — A fitting way to honor His Son’s birth. A final touch upon such gifts would be For us to give them through eternity. |
