Merry Christmas

A poem I wrote two years ago that I do not remember writing, but it's in my archive so I must have. It still rings true to this day.

Merry Christmas, my dear readers.

Today is the day we look forward to all year,

the day that we anticipate through the snow and the drear.

For some it's the thought of the presents under the tree,

For others its about what God did for you and me.

It's a day that is blessed by generations untold,

A day that is full of joys to unfold.

Though perhaps it's not the true day of birth,

it's the day we've chosen to celebrate with mirth.

Everywhere we go we feel happiness and love,

What a blessing we've received from the Great God above.

It's the time of year we show others our care,

with gifts to say, "Hey, I know you're there."

Throughout the day I hope you remember the reason,

That today's God's day, the whole purpose of the season.

Enjoy your families, your presents, the day,

And don't forget we celebrate because Jesus paid the way.

Merry Christmas everyone. Have a wonderful day. 

With love,

-Emily and Bodie
