What was Christmas truly for, as on the Season we close that door? <br />As a New Year for all starts, and the Christmas Season now departs. <br />Does the Christmas spirit depart, from each and every human heart? <br />As Christmas trim is tucked away, will the spirit in some hearts stay? <br /> <br />Was Christmas truly meant for this, for once a year to change gifts? <br />Especially within the hearts of us, who in The Savior place our trust? <br />Shouldn’t Christmas that we know, be His Light in us for all to show, <br />The Truth and life we have in Him, who came to dwell forever within? <br /> <br />Should not Christmas be a song, we sing in our hearts all year long? <br />As in our hearts we joyfully sing, to Jesus Christ, our Lord and King. <br />A song which should never leave, the heart of those who do believe, <br />Saved by Grace from this world, with that Christmas Song to herald. <br /> <br />A song we sing all year through, as The Spirit moves in me and you, <br />To be a light men need each day, not just thought of Christmas day, <br />Song and light, throughout the year, which every man needs to hear, <br />This, so men may see their need, that God’s message they will heed. <br /> <br />Some men desire Christmas in July, but, did you ever question why? <br />A time when gifts aren’t bought at all; could it be music to their soul? <br />Maybe the songs that they heard, moved their hearts to God’s Word, <br />With a message, when not ignored, could draw any soul to The Lord. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©12/2008)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-was-christmas-for/
