A Christmas Eve Poem
Luke 2:14
This is my Christmas Eve poem.
I hope that it will bless,
With a few verses,
About this holiday loved best!
The carolers joyously singing,
From house to house they go.
The children eagerly sledding
In the new white fallen snow.
The stores remaining opened.
The crowds quickly flooding in.
The pop-up corner tree lots –
The evergreens are trimmed.
The church’s doors staying opened,
With a glow of lights within.
The creche stands in the front
Showing those who worship Him.
The gathered circle holding hands,
Of friends both old and new.
A Christmas prayer they pray.
It is something very true.
That peace on earth will come,
As we trust in Jesus Christ,
Born on that Christmas day
And for us was sacrificed.
The stores completely closed.
The sleds all put away.
The carolers quiet, quite.
No more trees to display.
The congregation leaves,
Feeling refreshed, renewed,
Into the cold night air,
An upswing in their mood.
That is my Christmas Eve poem.
I hope that it has blessed,
With a few verses,
About this holiday loved best!
