Searching For Christmas Poem by Susy Evelyne

People are searching.
Searching for the perfect thing
as their offering for this season.
And we spend and wrap and send and give,
little thinking of the reason:
The frail child born in the night
to bring eternal life and light.


So when we are all wrapped up
in shopping sprees
and Christmas trees –
in the whirl of festivities,
and twinkling lights...
will we think back to the miracle
of the first Christmas night?
