Christmas

“Christmas by Maisie Aletha Smikle

Smiles gifts and laughter fill the air
Families so dear
Gather and share
Love and happy cheer

Mary gave birth to Christ Jesus
Gloriously famed is He
People are happy on His birthday
They meet to celebrate this day

On Christ's birthday
There were gifts of myrrh
Frankincense and gold
Celebrating His birth that was foretold

Christmas day is Christ’s birthday
Once a year
Christ is cheered
For coming into the world

Woes and foes
Are forgotten
And joy and peace
Are release

Lights blink
Twinkle twinkle
Beckoning good wishes
To come in

Snow falling on roof tops
Cookies cooling on stove tops
Smoke whistling from the chimneys
Calling out to Santa on his sleigh

Don't come down tonight
It is frosty as frost bite
If you come down the chimney
You will be toasty as a toast

So on and on Santa goes
Round and round the globe
Delivering good wishes and happy cheers
And thanking God for Christ’s birth”


― Maisie Aletha Smikle
