Most prized Christmas gift,
Humble table, a meal shared,
With loved ones still here.

Can our dreams **** us?
One man's struggle holds the key,
Proof his legacy.

Mom dropped off two fawns,
My back yard their romper room,
Watched them for the day.

Nibbled grass and leaves,
Gave them cool water to drink,
Feared, would mom return?

Seemed happy but shy,
Cute, tiny and oh so frail,
They seemed unconcerned.

At night mom returned,
Rounded up her twin darlings,
All scampered away.

God made flesh is born,
Innocent, pure lamb of God,
To die for our sins.

There's no greater love,
Nor is there a greater hope,
For all who believe.

Unwortrhy am I
And yet He still died for me,
Forgives me my sins.

Believers rejoice,
But let us all remember,
He loves ALL of us.

Believers and non,
All humans are our brothers,
And our sisters too.

Let us not forget,
God made man came to teach us,
To love, not to hate.

Whether you believe,
That He is the Son of God,
Or you believe not.

Believe in His message,
Love your neighbor as yourself,
Regardless of faith.

People of good will,
Embrace at least the message,
Of the messenger.

May you each know peace,
Health and joy throughout your lives,
This my Christmas wish.
