Christmas Spirit Poem by louis rams

christmas spirit


this is one of my favs that i've written (11/4/12)

I hear the birds up in the tree tops sing
I hear the bells in the church steeples ring
I see the squirrels run around with delight
OH MY GOD! What a beautiful sight.

I see the first snow starting to cover the ground
I hear the old familiar sounds
I see the clouds a silver grey
I see the sun trying to shine its rays.

The rabbits, the chipmunks, the possums too
Under the foliage hiding from you.
They're all getting ready for the seasonal treat
That GOD has bestowed upon them to eat.
The fish in the ponds, the frogs on the ground
Know that this is the time that CHRIST is around.

Why is it that every living creature knows
Of this time of year
When the kindness of humans fill the air.
All of GODS creatures, no matter who
Or what they may be - are joining together as families.

The Christmas spirit spreading throughout the
Land, air, and sea
And voices singing in harmony.
Let's open our eyes and ears to the sounds
For GODS love is all around.

The cries of a new born child seeing the light
For the very first time, and hearing sounds
They never heard before- " as GOD opens up the doors".
Let us be thankful for all that GOD has given
And make our lives all worth living.

He gave us his son on this glorious day
And to him we all must pray.
He's shown us what love is all about
And from every mountain top we should shout

"Thank you JESUS for all that you've done
For you are GODS begotten son."
You've shown us the way our lives
Should really be- even when we're living in misery.

You've given us the greatest gift around
LOVE
Which in our hearts can be found.
