The following is a poem presented at Livingway’s Christmas dinner as written by Miriam Buckaway
CHRISTMAS
When I was just a little girl of five or six or so
My mother told a story of a babe born long ago
This babe she said was a Holy Child
Born of a virgin so tender and mild
It was about our very first Christmas
As I remember it went like this
Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem late in the day
The Inns were all filled there was nowhere to stay
They entered a stable because they were told
No other shelter could they find from the cold
A baby was born in the stable that night
Townfolk slept thru the heavenly night
An angel choir heralded his birth
Singing praises to God and peace to the earth
Shepherds tending their sheep were shaken with fear
When in their midst an angel appeared
Proclaiming unto you this day a Saviour is given
He is the king of all earth and of heaven
You will find him lying in a manger in the town of Bethlehem
Shepherds came seeking him as the angel foretold
Wisemen brought gifts of Myrr, Frankincense and Gold
Each year we buy gifts for our family and friends
We hurry and scurry go to trouble no end
There are presents to buy, a turkey to stuff
Phone calls to make, invitations to send
The baby born in a stable who in a manger lay
Has long been forgotten in the world to-day
We forget about the angel choir singing
Peace on earth good will to men
About the angel proclaiming the promise had been given
Let us not forget that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday
Let us worship Him on this day
For if Jesus had not been born there would be no reason
To celebrate a Christmas season
I remember my mom saying, remember my dear little doll
Our present to Jesus comes first of all
I bow my head and offer to give
My heart to Lord Jesus for as long as I live
I pray my gift He-ll be pleased to receive
And on this His birthday, you too will believe.
“HAPPY
BIRTHDAY JESUS”
