Christmas is coming Let’s go to parties Let’s march right up Laughing real hearty We'll sing us a song As if we belong When Christmas time is near Cookies and candy Come in real handy Our noses are runny We have no real money But we can sing Those jingle bells Let’s find us some houses Rich men and their spouses They’ll sweep us both up And all will be well Christmas is coming When dreams will come true With a wish to be loved, my brother, I do Brother I tell you one day will be so Our angel will come and up we will go I don’t think at Christmas Though cold as we are To find us some warmth We’ll have to go far Christmas is sharing Christmas is caring Let’s go find love to keep Our rags that we wear A babe once did bare In a manger was born In heavenly sleep So for those that may laugh Or turn us away We live life like Jesus That’s what we'll say Jesus then born without anything We too are fit to be kings We just want to be held and kissed Want to be loved, want to be missed If we’ve no homes at least we’ll provide Dwellings for Jesus, He who has died We will survive I know that it’s cold For so long a new life has been foretold Singing carols around barrels Lit by warm flames Wishing two strangers Would call us by name Driving a car they’d dash us away Then Christmas would be a wondrous day Let’s not lose sight, our focus is clear Through Christ we will find, Christmas has cheer Hey brother wake up Let’s go for a Christmas affair Where children are welcome I’ll race you right there Thank you for giving if you were able this year We know there was love in your gifts and your souls And for all of our hopes we will wish you good cheer Through your kindness and Jesus we will be whole Merry Christmas [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 12-21-2000).] |

 I realy liked your perspective with this poem.... I felt that I was the brother awake... I could feel the chill and the warmth standing around that bonfire... It is amazing how much faith that man has in Christ to realize that he is not alone but he has a friend who went through the very things he now faces. A Wnderful Christmas poem and to you, Bob <>< |
