~ IF ONLY ~
Christmas is
a magical
time,
In the eyes
of a little
child.
But as
adults we
forget
about,
The Holy
Infant so
tender and
mild.
Instead, we
get carried
away,
With tinsel
and glitter
and stress.
We run
around in
circles,
Trying to
pick up the
gift that is
best.
How would it
be if we
went back
To the night
that Jesus
was born?
And we
witnessed
the angels
appearing,
Announcing
His birth
and sounding
the horns!
The curious
shepherds
followed the
star,
And found
where the
sweet baby
lay.
The animals
watched
their
visitors
that night,
And the baby
in the
manger of
hay.
The magic of
that night
is
different,
Than the
kind that
we've come
to know.
We've lost
the true
meaning of
Christmas,
Born in that
stable so
long ago.
If only we
could go
back and
bring it
with us,
And restore
the love
born that
night,
The true and
magical
feeling of
Christmas,
Would set
all of our
wandering
souls right.
Glory to God
in the
Highest,
Peace on
Earth and
Good Will to
all men!
Praise God
for the gift
of the
Christ
Child,
Who leads us
to a life
without end.
