 God's Son was born on Christmas Day To bring the world His love. In Bethlehem a manger blessed, The North Star shone above. Through mortal days Son Jesus spake The wisdom of God's Word; And to this day around the world, His voice mankind has heard. But Jesus knew at traitor's hand He would be crucified; And yet God's love, a gift for all Must ever be descried. Both far and wide then Jesus trekked, In search of giving soul Who'd share with all His gift of love; Quest led to the North Pole. He met a kindly toymaker Who smiled and laughed a lot... "Believe in me and share God's love, Your soul shall perish not." This jolly man called Santa Claus In heed of Jesus' call, Vowed he'd give toys each Christmas night To children one and all. So Jesus smiled upon this man - That's how this story goes. It's said His Star would light the way, Reflecting reindeer's nose. From that day forth each Christmas Eve The elves have packed the sleigh With toys and love in Jesus' name To bless our Christmas Day.  |

 I knew it! I knew it! This confirms everything.... Jesus did bless Santa Clause!That's how he spreads such joy around the world. He couldn't do it without Christ. I loved your poem. Merry Christmas! Bob <>< |

Enjoyable poem Nan. The magic had to come from somewhere. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. John |

I'll be bold enough to say that this is your best ever, it's my favourite to date. What a clever way of tying both Santa and Jesus together in a poem - a beautiful sentiment and thought! Merry Christmas Nan! ~Melissa~< !signature--> The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 12-23-2000).] |
