Christmas Remembrance Poem by louis rams

Christmas Remembrance

It's been a while since I've been here
It's time to spread good will and cheer
There is so much gloom in the world today
And many have forgotten how to pray
With family and friends we are no longer in touch
Because of fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and such.
With that in mind I'll make some time
To say a prayer for yours and mine.
Christmas is remembering what we do have
Not what we lost, so our problems
To the wind we must toss.
Now is the time to get up off your ass
You cannot change whats already past.
So teach the children about the birth of CHRIST
And all he had to sacrifice. By giving up his life
So that we could live - more than that he could not give!
He was but a child when the three kings appeared
Creating gift giving, good will and good cheer.
Centuries have passed since this took place
And it has spread from race to race.
No matter what struggles come our way
But for now let the children play.
(show the children the true meaning of Christmas
And never take CHRIST out of Christmas)
