A couple of Sweet Christmas Poems

Santa Claus found Bethlehem

In a plastic Nativity set that night.

He jumped from his magical sleigh

To kneel before this shimmering sight.

He gazed at the Infant cradled in snow.

Joseph and Mary had a heavenly glow.

Blessings of Christmas were not on His sleigh.

Blessings of Christmas were born in the hay.

The world has its eyes on gifts of shining gold,

But Christ is the greatest gift the world will behold.

 

 

Santas Christmas Eve Prayer

The sleigh was all packed,

The reindeer were fed,

But Santa still knelt

By the side of the bed.

 

"Dear Father," he prayed,

"Be with me tonight,

There's much work to do,

And my schedule is tight."

"I must jump in my sleigh

And streak through the sky,

Knowing full well

That a reindeer can't fly."

"I will visit each household,

Before the first light,

I'll cover the world,

And all in one night."

"With sleigh bells a-ringing,

I'll land on each roof,

Amid the soft clatter

Of each little hoof."

"To get in the house

Is the difficult part,

So I'll slide down the chimney

Of each child's heart."

"My sack will hold toys

To grant all their wishes,

The supply will be endless,

Like the loaves and the fishes."

"I will fill all the stockings

And not leave a track,

I'll eat every cookie

That is left for my snack."

"I can do all these things Lord,

Only through You,

I just need your blessing,

Then it's easy to do."

"All this is to honor

The birth of the One,

That was sent to redeem us ...

Your most Holy Son."

"So to all of my friends,

Least Your glory I rob,

Please Lord, remind them

Who gave me this job."
