Christ Mas Poem by louis rams

the word christmas holds a special
meaning for me.
it is something that many people don't see.
the first part of the word christmas is christ
and the second part mas means more in spanish.

so christmas to me is' more of christ'
it is something that would make you think twice.
he tells us that it is better to give than to receive.
and there is nothing in between.

give of your heart, as he did with his
to wipe away all mortal sin.
he knew his time was short
and would soon come to an end.
and from his path he would not bend.

he took the road which was destined for him.
with the help of his father from above
who showed and gave him strength and love..

the only time he would stumble and fall
was when he carried this worlds cross.

and did it without remorse.
