MY CHRISTMAS WISH
POEM AND PHOTO BY Serena Adkins Ellison
MY CHRISTMAS WISH
My Christmas Wish
not of presents untold..
my Christmas wish
can not be bought or sold
You see
Christmas to me..
has nothing to do
with gifts under a tree
Yes, Yes… I won’t deny
Giving is special indeed
Made even more so,
when given to one in need
But that is not
what I am here talking about
It’s far more important
what I want to shout
I want to tell the world
the true meaning for me
The reason for the season
Nothing about tinsel gifts or a tree
There was no sacrifice pure enough
to take our sins away
So see My Savior was born
in a manger one day
He was God manifest,
as a babe in the flesh
The son of God
The very best!
For me he came
to make a way for my escape
My sins he bore
for they were great
See I did not deserve
this gift he gave
Yet, he did it
so that I could be saved
My Christmas Wish
is that you all would grow
in the true meaning of CHRISTmas
as you SHARE with others in what you know.
Merry Christmas
Tell someone about JESUS today..
