A True Christmas

A special time to remember when
Why we've gathered together again
The meaning far beyond the lights
And toys and gifts and cancelled flights

Not just a day there is no work
Or mushy cards that have their quirks
The time of year the whole world sees
The Son of God not Christmas trees

Oh the hours we did spend
And how much cash now in the end ?
It seems we try so hard to please
Everyone but Christ it seems !

Madly dashing here and there
As if this earthly world should care
Longing for the things we own
Instead of seeking Heaven's Throne

Can we for once now just be still
And look at what is truly real ?
Let us take time to reflect
The gift of Jesus, don't forget !
