12 poems of Christmas? ["day" 9]

Christmas, it's not about us

it's not about the lights
it's not about
cool new arrangements of familiar carols, played
it's not about
how many
or
how big
the gifts are
under the tree...
it's about who would be nailed
to that tree
it's about what he did 3 days later
It's about
prophecy fulfilled
it's about the worth
of weary souls
it's loneliness itself
being cast out
to walk by itself
It's about what we can give
to those
who don't know how
and do not have the means
to give back
it's about:
"we love
because
he
first
loved
us"
Pastor Steve has said
"you cannot out give God"
just for fun,
try
anyway

b.e. noll

"Joy
to
the world
the Lord
has
come...
and he
shall reign
forever
and ever
King of kings
Lord of lords"

He shall be High King God
from
"once upon a time"
to
"happily ever after"

let me live into
the words of Your messenger:
"I bring you
good news
that shall be
for all people.
Today
in the city of David
a Savior has been born
to you;
he is Christ
the Lord"
