Live For The Savior 2016 – Christmas poem
It was our second “Christmas” when
I saw a problem with this day/date.
Was Christ born in December, or?
“Assigned it” by some sly fate?
2
Have men wanted us to believe
This date for nefarious reasons?
Does it coincide too nicely with
Fallen man’s ungodly seasons?
3
At age nineteen I knew He was born,
Had not the slightest doubt in my heart.
My question was ‘bout the day/date
Now, I’ve more reason to doubt a “chart.”
4
I couldn’t prove it was NOT this day,
Back then or, for that matter, now.
It had to be some day of the year –
Which? To prove it I knew not how.

2016 “Christmas Poem” (part 2)
If one insists on a date in fall
And searches enough t’ill be found,
Someone bad is tied to the new date;
Earth’s filled with satan’s sight and sound.
6
Like it? I don’t. Disprove it? I can’t.
Friend, I don’t worship date or day;
I worship the Christ who came to earth
To take sins (yours and mine) away.
7
Do I then include all satan’s myths?
No. Nor should you, heaven-bound friend.
Sub-ject to Him family “tradition,”
Keep what glorifies Christ, in the end.
8
Please do not LIVE for “christmas colors”
Nor greenery, lights, bows, and such.
Live for the Bethlehem Savior EACH day.
He’s much more than a date/day. Much!
