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. ~ Nancy Ness - 1999 ~ |

I'm not sure what I enjoyed most Nan ... the tender blending of stories, or the lovely cadence and rhyme. A marvelous read, very much enjoyed this. Best wishes, /Kit |

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, this is soooooooooo beautiful, sweet Nan, the miracle of Christmas shiens in your loving heart! (sigh) I couldn't help but cry reading this to feel the warmth of Santa's face as he held the child close, feeling his Love and doing all his sharing and giving for him and all other children. (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much, your poem and the beautiful image are both so beautiful! (kiss on cheek) Have the happiest holidays, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Nan, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
