There was a time during my younger years when my Grandmother was extremely into writing poetry. She wrote a lot of Biblical based poetry and we even typed up her a book years ago. Among the poems she wrote, one was titled “Christmas”. My Grandmother (or better known to me as Grandma) asked if I would publish this on my blog for Christmas this year. Yes, my 83 Year Old grandma completely understands the concept of blogging and is currently toying with the idea of starting her own blog (with my nudging). So instead of some lengthy post from me, I present to you, a guest writer: Rose (Grandma) Massie:
Christmas
On Christmas eve, Jesus said “Goodbye.”
To his father in the sky.
God said to his son, “I love you”.
But this is a job, only you can do.
That evening Jesus came to earth,
To be born, a lowly birth,
In a manger, there he lay,
Midst the animals and the hay.
A bright star was shining from above,
To tell the world of God’s great love,
He gave the only son he had.
To save a world that had gone bad.
Now on his birthday, we trim a tree,
Beautifully decorated for all to see.
Beneath it there are lots of toys,
For little girls and boys.
On this day, we are full of glee,
And rejoice with the family.
This, the greatest day of the year,
When all the world is full of cheer.
But do we think how Jesus died,
How on the cross he was crucified?
On the third day he rose again,
To save a lost world from its sin.
So help us Lord on Christmas day,
To stop and take the time to pray.
And thank the father up above,
For giving the world, such great love.
Merry Christmas from everyone here at JohnMassie.com and my family I hope that your holiday is filled with family and friends and most importantly with God’s love.
God Bless,
- John C. Massie
