A CHRISTMAS POEM

Baby Jesus, where's  your cradle?
Why lie there in swaddling clothes?
Why the cattle in the background?
Why the Eastern Star arose?

Where's the tinsel, and the candies?
Where's the gifts and ribbons bright?
Where's the tree with all it's beauty?
Where're you going to sleep tonight?

Why in all your love and goodness?
You give to all humanity,
Why you choose to come to earth,?
Why'd you want to set men free?

Christmas is a time for joy,
It's a time to give and love.
The greatest gift that one can long for,
The greatest gift from God above.

Loving Jesus, Happy Birthday,
As we celebrate your birth.
T'is the season to be happy,
Good will to man, and peace on earth.

Jo Ann Cathey-Rasi

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.
