Christmas
Jesus was born in Bethlehem,
Born with no money or no fame.
We know wise men came to bring their gifts,
Peace was felt when they heard his name.
Angels watched over him,
Their voices fell softly in his ear.
His parents Mary and Joseph,
rejoiced for the greatest gift of their Son so dear.
As we know his life upon earth,
wouldn’t be grand, yet encounter strife.
But everyone knew he would be a loving child
and teach the love of God throughout his life.
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ
Let’s keep in mind the truth about Christmas Day.
For its not all turkey and Christmas gifts,
Give your gift of love to others in every way.
