Christmas

Christmas

It’s a busy time

Full of presents

And Christmas songs

We eat till we are full

Spend time with family

Watch Christmas programmes

And eat some more

We wake up early

Full of suspense

What has Santa left?

Under the tree

In our excitement

Do we take time?

Time to sit and be

Time to reflect

Do we remember?

The Christmas truth

About the baby born

In the manger for us

Our saviour born

As a lovely babe

To a virgin girl

And a forlorn carpenter

We need to sit

We need to be still

Reflect on the miracle

Of our saviours birth
