(I'm making up my Christmas cards early)


Christmas Babe

God didn't send a warrior bold
With drawn sword and shield
To face the evil of this world
And make old Satan yield.
Instead He sent His newborn Son
Wrapped in His Father's love
To captivate the world of men
With message from above.

Imagine this small Innocent
With duty so immense,
Expected to save us all from sin
With love His one defense.
No soldiers did He rally round,
But simple fishermen
Who stayed to bring the world His word
When He went home again.

The message the Apostles spread
Has traveled a long way;
Two Thousand Seven years to us.
We celebrate His day.

Thanks Marge.  I read it over and over and didn't catch that.  I saw what I knew it should be.  Love, Joyce

You've echoed His love message so softly and clearly in this beautiful piece, Joyce.

God bless,

Christmas is just around the corner and you reminded me of that. Your poem was a good message for those who may not know the true meaning of Christmas.

Oh, I just loved this!
A fresh perspective and so well written
Bravo, dear poetess!
Now back to read it again
