Oh, little One upon the hay Born for mankind Christmas Day Oh, precious Gift, God's grand display Of perfect love for us today Prepare the hearts of all we pray Impart Your peace, all fears allay Yes, enter in this special day God's gracious Gift be ours today. Oh, suff'ring Savior on the tree You gave all You had for me You heard my cry, You heard my plea You gave Your love, You set me free Now gracious Lord You'll ever be My treasure for eternity You entered in that special day God's gracious Gift is mine today. 12/98 (One of my first poems) ------------------ Denise |

Beautiful, Denise. The "true" gift of Christmas is so often overlooked this day and age. Wonderful reminder. Michael |

This was one of your first? Wow, Denise! I found this to be well written-thanks for bringing it forward as I missed it the first time around!  Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

beautiful Denise ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

A wonderful poem, my friend--Jesus earthly life from being to end-was meant as a blessing to us all--thanks for giving us the big picture-in a lovely way! "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |
