We’re having a wonderful Christmas Lord, <br />with gifts and love and eats and all. <br />St Monica’s gathers around once more <br />to celebrate your birthday as before. <br /> <br />You give to us so much each day - <br />bright sun, blue skies and fluffy clouds, <br />warm beds, good food and friends galore, <br />Your precious love and the best care-givers in the world. <br /> <br />What birthday gifts can we give you Lord? <br />So little you ask, so much you give. <br />So please accept our hearts, our praise, our plan <br />to make this world the best we can. <br /> <br />And we all join in with hearts and voice <br />to say, with love, as we rejoice, <br />and may it resound all over the earth, <br />“Happy Birthday, Jesus” on this day of your birth. <br /> <br />(25 December 2010)<br /><br />Diana van den Berg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-jesus/
