Christmas Poem

Reminder Of The True Meaning Of Christmas

In 2011, my mother passed away 2 days before Christmas at the age of 98. I was so thankful she was a Christian and I knew she was with Jesus but felt immediately that Christmas would never be the same...a sad time of year. As soon as I thought that, I felt her come to me in her spirit and say..."Christmas is NOT about my death; it's about HIS birth!" I felt immediate peace. Each year when I get overwhelmed, I remind myself what Christmas is really about...thus the poem.

The Miracle Of Christmas

Mary was chosen; how could this be true?
A young girl and virgin was who they all knew.
Cousin Elizabeth, too, six months was she.
Her son was John, a "forerunner" he would be,
Lept in her womb when the news was told.
The King Mary carried they would all soon behold.
Not in a great palace but a stable he'd lay.
Not on fine linens but a manger with hay.
An angel told shepherds the glad news they'd sing,
A star led the Wise Men, their gifts they would bring.
When he heard of the birth, King Herod would seek,
But God up above Jesus' safety would keep
So that you and I could know His great love,
And one day be with Him in Heaven above.
So remember that Christmas is not "going all out."
It's a season of miracles...THAT'S what it's about.

ABOUT THE POET:

I found the family and friends poems when I was looking for a poem about spring. I ended up writing a very short one myself, and for some reason decided to submit it. To my surprise it was published. I have never written poems before, and it's amazing to know that someone else thinks it's good. I appreciate any and all who read an...

I was moved by "The Miracle of Christmas." My Momma passed in 2008, and I think of her and miss her often. She kept clippings from many sources in a notebook I found after she was gone. Her name was Pearl, and I made a FB Group page that is called "Pearl's (Borrowed) Words of Wisdom." Here I share the many items she had saved. I just felt like it was something my Momma would have been tickled to know her notebook was being shared this way. She was a very devout and loving servant of God.
