Christmas Poem

 

Christmas Poem Hope 2011

It’s Christmas time with decorations, trees and lots of toys

With Santa bringing gifts to all good girls and boys

With shopping at the malls and spending lots of cash

Lots of parties in your home and even an office bash.

We seem to be in a hurry with so much to be done

There is no time to rest we are always on the run

With gifts to buy and goods to bake and parties to attend

It seems this Christmas hustle will never have an end

But how was Mary oh so calm on that first Christmas day

She heard the angels news and said be it as you say

She never seemed to panic when her life was turned upside down 

Even when the gossip flew and rumors did abound

Conceived by the Holy Spirit but her words fell on deaf ears

The friends and family laughed they joked and many even jeered

She must have heard the whispers as she walked all thru her town

A virgin Ha, they mocked at her with a smirk and then a frown

But Mary trusted God that His promise would come true

And she saw it being fulfilled as inside her Jesus grew

No panic no dispair as she headed for David’s city

She didn’t ask for favors or cry out give me pity

She bore the son of God that day and layed Him in the hay

Where shepherds and their sheep would come to sing and pray

She trusted God with all her heart her life was lived in peace

Real faith she knew was only found in in walking in heavenly peace

So next time you are rushing around from store to store 

Remember our new mother laying on that cold damp floor

She didn’t new presents or a fancy place to stay

Just faith in God and the courage to speak be it as you say.
