"The Gospel Tree"
~~~
There once was a shinning Christmas tree,
standing out where all could see.
It's brilliance captured every eye
and seemed to cheer each passer-by
"The lights are so bright they would say,
and hesitate to walk away.
The tree stood proud and ablaze with light,
for every light was burning bright.
Then one bulb was heard to say,
"I'm tired of burning night and day.
I think I'll just go out and rest,
For I'm too tired to do my best.
Besides I am so very small,
I doubt if I'd be missed at all.
Then a child lovingly touched the light,
"Look mother, this one shines so very bright.
I think of all the lights upon the tree,
This one looks the best to me.
"Oh my goodness" said the light,
"I almost dimmed right out of sight.
I thought perhaps no one would care,
If I failed to shine my share.
Without a glorious brilliance came,
For every light had felt the same.
Our Gospel, like this Christmas tree,
with little lights are you and me.
We have a space that we must fill,
with love and lessons and good will.
Let's keep our tree, ablaze with lights,
with testimonies burning bright.
For our Gospel is a living tree,
that lights the way to eternity.
