Christmas Thanks Poem by Shaun Cronick

For all things good at Christmastide,
For joys that in our hearts abide.
For clothes to share for those in need,
And food for homeless ones to feed.

For the wonders of the world we see,
For the beauty of each flower and tree.
For lakes and hills and azure sky,
And snowy clouds that float on by.

For greeting cards from far and near,
For gifts from friends we hold so dear.
For carols sung by torchlight glow,
And coloured lights on glistening snow.

For candles glowing in the night,
For Christmas trees so shining bright.
For festive wreaths of holly green,
And the sacredness of the manger scene.

For the birth of Thy Son in the manger low,
For the three wise men who came so long ago.
For the shepherds who watched that Holy night,
And the star which guided them by it's light.
We give our humble thanks, our Father.
