My Christmas prayer

A Christmas poem

                              My Christmas prayer

Christmas is coming.
The bless day of Jesus birth.
I pray all people can learn the lessons of Jesus.
Forgiveness, love and charity.

Christmas is coming.
I pray the hope of peace can expand to every nation.
I pray every child and family is safe and have shelter.
The sound of war is silence.

Christmas is coming.
We need to remember.
Once a man of love walked upon our earth with us.
He showed us the way to forgiveness and love.

Christmas is the day where we need to be thankful for good health,
family near and to shared the kindness of Jesus.

Forgiveness, love and charity.

dear John... the light of the Star will
glow in our heart and lambs will gather around the Shepherd in the field. The wise men will bring gifts of frankincense and myrrh and love and goodwill. truly, Pat

A beautiful piece to get into the Christmas mood. Nicely portrayed emotion. Though not Christian, I've always loved the season and the spirit. Your poem made me nostalgic... Brought back school memories.

AWESOME & very original way to express the true meaning of the holidays! This is what I'm talking about -- no materialistic & decorative celebration at my house! I love seeing you write your poem in a more structured way than usual. Both are good, but the change is refreshing! (((HUGS)))
