[hometext] => May EVERYONE that reads this poem have a wonderful holiday. May these notes compel you who are about to pass my poem up, to read it. Happy Holidays from Elisabeth. :)
[bodytext] => When Christmas, Santa, or reindeer come to mind
Most think of parties and presents, or pageants so fine And some think of shopping and holiday lights While others anticipate the egg nog and feasts out of sight But before there was St. Nick and holiday cheer There was Jesus Christ so brave-- He never feared He battled the sinners and saints with love in His heart He was humble and lowly, willing from the start From the start of time, where we first began God had a plan, an awesome way to redeem man Clothed in flesh, He went to earth to set His chosen free Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, and made a blind man see He taught in parables so some would hear, and some not at all His words have pierced our hearts, touched even the Jew named Saul After years of miracles and astonishing the Pharisees His life came to an end on a cross at Calvary Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh He gave of Himself, and today has challenged us to the test We must be kind and courteous, and love one another Love God with all our strength, and be honest before our brothers Without Him dwelling within us we cannot fight the good fight Life is more than material gain--it is Satan using all his might But seek the God of the Jews and His righteousness For He brings truth and light, He gives you love His best We must obey His word, His flesh, all that is written We must turn from sin and be born again to have our names written In the book of life, yes, He is so full of grace To us sinners who grab a hold of the John 3:16 case And even still we must keep on living Worshipping in spirit and truth, and even in our giving Giving is the reason for faith, hope, and even this season Let us give thanks to God, let us strive to please Him God gave of Himself to a world that still rejects Him today They love their philosophies and gods, they have their own way The day is coming when He will come for His bride So church of the covenant be ready to ride On white horses through streets of gold, in a glorious heaven we'll be I am so grateful to the giver of life-- He died for you and me I charge every one of you to keep your minds on Him Pray for every deed, thought, and word-- don't follow any whim Jesus is the reason for St. Nick and holiday cheer For pageants and parties, and even reindeer.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
