Is it just Christmas, again,
In a world of war and sin?
Another year of tinsel and paper,
Of glamorous gifts (paid for later)
Of loveless homes and empty lives,
And husbands separate from their wives?
Another day, the same as last,
The only difference, a year has past?
No, this year can be,
A joyous, Christian reality.
A year when Christ is personal,
Yes, more than an a year, eternal,
The Lord of your life, and heart.
If not now, then now start. -eab, 11/67
