THIS IS CHRISTMAS

THIS IS CHRISTMAS

There are moments & times to remember

They were answered prayers from yesterday

We laughed, we cried as did all the others

Yet somehow we still found our way

 

The greatest treasures lies within the givers

They are our families & our friends

They speak from the heart with only convection

All they asked for was for us not to give in

 

Not all of us are are tested soldiers

Sometimes we battle with our faith

Some shine the light for all the others

If not for them we wouldn't even know this place

 

If we had no one to guide us

What kind of place would this be

It would be cold & heartless

And no one would ever believe

 

My wish for us all is substance

For the spirit & soul need that to live on

Fellowship comes when we share those thoughts

For our moments are short & then they're gone

 

Most of us were raised by the scriptures  

And we know the story by heart

But we should be mindful while reminiscing

This is our stage till we part

 

This world is adrift in life's ocean

And we all seek safe shelter on the shore

And we need to be humbled by all the others

Who gave us the courage to open the doors

 

So tonight on the Eve of Christmas

I pray you find the peace that we all need

Its more than a matter of just surrender

It takes real courage to plant love's seeds

 

We've shared this road for many a mile

We've played, we've worked and yes we've lived

Yet we could have never found our way

Without the Eternal Light that gives

 

This is Christmas
