Another Christmas Eve draws near,
A mixture of memories, children, and cheer.
The children with their eyes aglow
Hear stories of Santa, the reindeer, the snow,
But also, Jesus born that night,
The shepherds, the wise men, the stable, the light,
The star, the angel, Mary, child.
The scriptures we read every year bring a smile.
The heavens opened in the sky.
The shepherds heard thousands of angels on high.
A child who came from God above,
Who came as a sacrifice born to bring love.
Take time to pause and pray and sing,
Remember the Christ child, the savior and king.
These thoughts bring wonderful memories back.
Thanks John
