What is Christmas?Christmas is a special time of year, To spend with friends and family we hold so near. To remember loved ones no longer here. A time to reflect on Christmas's past. Oh how the years go by so fast! But precious memories will always last. A time for giving gifts from the heart; Cherishing each moment, not knowing when they will depart. But there will always be new memories to start. A time to remember the promise of Bethlehem's star; The birth of Jesus our Savior, the greatest gift by far. He loves and accepts you just the way you are. A time to remember the reason He came; To die for our sins, taking away all our guilt and shame. His gift is eternal life, to all who believe and call on His name. A time for laughter and joy. To see the smile on a child's face when they receive a new toy, Making the day special for a little girl or boy. A time for singing a joyful song. To remember the homeless and poor, helping them along. To pray for those fighting, to keep our country strong. A time for holiday parties, both big and small. To show someone you care, by giving them a call. To send Christmas greetings and best wishes to one and all. © Carol Salter December 2005 (This my first public poem that I wrote) Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
