The
First Christmas Gift
Christmas is a
giving season,
But do you
really know the reason?
It’s not the
lights or pretty bell
That brings us
this time we love so well.
Can you
remember, or recall
The very first
Christmas gift of all?
I know the
story. It is true.
If you listen,
I’ll tell it to you.
Long ago, in
the cold of night
A pregnant
woman was in a plight.
Seeking
shelter, she found not one
Where she
could stay till the night was done.
Not one could
seat her at the table,
But one did
let her use his stable.
So there she
lay her child to sleep,
In that
stable, with cattle and sheep.
Sleeping there
on a bed of hay
Was God’s
own present to us that day.
The angels
sang that night ‘til morn.
That was the
night, when Christ was born.
The shepherds
in the fields that night
Saw the
angels, and it caused them fright.
They were
afraid they would be dead,
But the angels
spoke to them instead.
“Great news
I bring you this night.
A child is
born who will set things right.
He is a gift
from God above,
And He is
given of God’s great love.”
They left
their flocks out in the wild,
And rushed to
honor this Holy Child.
When they
arrived, wise men were there
And with them,
gifts they had brought to share.
Gifts were
given that Christmas day.
Wise men still
seek Him, even today.
The man gave
Mary a place to stay.
The sheep and
cattle gave up their hay.
God gave His
Son, so we can sing.
Mary gave
birth to our Lord and King.
The wise men
sought Him and brought gold rings.
The shepherds
gave worship, and told these things.
Gifts were
given that Christmas day.
We still give
Christmas presents today.
Wise men still
worship God above.
He gave us
first, the gift of His love.
He gave us His
Son that Christmas day,
To be the
Life, the Truth, and the Way.
Oh, what a
child, sent from above!
Oh, what a
God- to have such love!
This
poem is dedicated to “Midge”,
Who
gave me the gift of her friendship,
And
gave us all the gift of her art.
More
than that, she gave us her heart.
