A Christmas Poem

Twas the night before Christmas

With no room at the inn

So a manger was taken

To give life from within

A baby was born

From a virgin most plain

For a lesson that taught us

God loves everyone the same

The wise men would follow

A star shining bright

To lead them to the king

Giving us all eternal life

So in the season of advent

We wait and prepare

For the birth of our Savior

In intentional prayer

...

Tis the night before Christmas

And my parents are here

To celebrate the season

With good ol’ British cheer

I waited at the airport

For them safely to arrive

Until at last, reunited

We hugged and we cried

The past few days

We have spent all together

Riding double decker buses

And battling stormy weather

Now Christmas Eve is upon us

And how we do glee

At the ordainments adorned

Amongst the great Jesse tree

During church today

Voices sang Silent Night

Reading the Gospel of Luke

By Warm candle light

So tonight we will rest

All snug in our beds

And give thanks to God

For a stable roof over our heads

But for now I must say,

With much awaited delight:

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
