Christmas Joy - Be Thankful To Christ For Christmas Season Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Christmas is here again
moment of merriment in every lane.
O' Christmas is dear, Christmas is here
carols and stars in every street and corner
jingle bells and cribs in homes of poor and rich
joy in each and every heart, young and old.
O' this glory of Christmas so unique
as love of family and of friends rejuvenates,
the warmth, the unity, empowers each other
to serenade into the new year with assurance
that love of God thrives in the hearts of men.
And just as children await for Santa Claus to bring them
toys and chocolates as surprises,
the expectations, the excitement of everyone
keeps rising with the theme of Christmas
as they dance and sing, eat and pray when...
the church bells ring, memories of Bethlehem unfold
as mangers remind that night when Jesus was born
in humbleness, in a cowshed but as he lived
unto this world he taught of love, forgiveness and peace.
It is Christmas which brings hearts together
it is Christmas which takes loneliness away
if not for Christ and Christmas, would there ever be a time
when the world would get together, rejoice and celebrate?
so be thankful to Christ for the Christmas season.
