The Reason For The Season

I asked myself what have I to offer
and what do I have in gift to give?
I thought about it when seeing
signs of Christmas where I live.

Bright Mistletoe and Holly
decorate every street corner light,
and oh how the tree does shine
in the town square at night.



I looked up into the sky
at the stars shining so far away,
and I thought about a little manger
where Jesus was born on Christmas Day.

I wondered what I could ever give
to return this gift from above,
and what could I ever possibly offer
in comparison to his precious love?

I can only give my joyful praise
and be grateful for the season,
as we share this special time
and thank God for its reason.



Happy Holidays To Each Of You!! May they be safe, and filled with love, and PEACE.

Let peace abide in the hearts of all mankind.
