Christmas
by John Sherritt (John's bio)
Send this page to a friend
liquor store, Santa Claus
No surprise that we forgot
what it is about the cause,
that lets us run away
to empty stockings filled with dreams,
of Christmas themes,
and Christmas schemes.
For finding nothing without thought,
for finding pleasure can be bought
Long ago a shining star
to light a wise man's way,
brought a promise much too far
to be wrapped up on display.
For on this day a child was born
to a world that couldn't see,
the purpose from His life was torn
and given unto you and me.
Now Angels gaze down on this world,
souls drooping with dismay
Curtains of tears,
seeing meaning swirled,
forgotten Christmas Day
A day for repentance
with thankful prayer,
instead of expectance
of glitter and glare.
Forgive us please Father
for this web we have spun,
for when we forget,
to remember Your Son.
Though happiness may flow,
and hearts be made true,
we do not know
what it is
that we do.
