A Christmas Thought

If there had never been a Christmas

or the Holy Christ Child’s Birth,

Or the angels singing in the sky

of promised PEACE on EARTH–

What would the world be like today

with no ETERNAL GOAL,

What would the temporal body be

without a living soul–

Just what would give us courage

to push on when hope is dead

Except the Christmas message

and the words OUR FATHER said–

“In love I send My Only Son

to live and die for you,

And through His resurrection

you will gain a new life, too.”
