Christmas Poem

Through all the hustle this time of year brings,
Through the joy of gifts and material things,
Help us to stop and reflect on your burden,
That led to the pain to make our eternities certain.
Lord, let us remember the price you paid,
The nailing of your body before you body was laid.
The sacrifice you endured at the hands of mankind,
Let us bow at your throne for not leaving behind,
The sins of your people that led to your death,
The suffering you endured until your very last breath.
As I begin the day that marks your arrival,
Create a desire in me to resist the denial,
For, the reason I live and celebrate this year,
Is for your sacrifice you gave and your life I hold dear.
