“On This Day”~A Christmas Poem
On this day
We remember the poor.
We open the doors
Of our homes and hearts
To let loved ones in.
On this day
We give more than we receive.
We open our hands
And stretch our faith,
Helping our fellow neighbor.
On this day
We put our differences aside.
We open our minds
To the freedom of forgiveness
And the gift of grace.
Let this day
Last longer than just a meal.
Let this day
Become our anthem.
As we sing of the King
Who made Himself small,
To give us new life
On this day–
And for all eternity.
