THE CHRISTMAS GIFT

Older Women praying

One Christmas Eve some time ago,
God looked down on me.
He shook His head,
And then He said,
"What sadness do I see?"

"This day was made to celebrate,
The Christ Lord Jesus' birth.
Such grief you show,
Oh, don't you know,
This was the greatest day on earth."

Bar
"Oh Father God," I answered back,
"Amidst my falling tears.
Within my home,
I'm so alone,
Not another person here."

"So many have gone home to You,
Family, friends, and all.
Each one is gone,
They've all moved on,
They left at your beck and call."

Bar
"You took them Father back with You,
I do not understand.
Why leave me here,
With no one near,
When I too reached for Your hand?"

"Why not take me like the rest?
I'm old and tired too.
I can not guess,
What could be left,
I've nothing more to do."

Bar
The smile God had upon His face,
I think then disappeared.
Upon His brow,
Some sorrow now,
He said, "Dear child listen here."

"It's time that you forget yourself,
And think of other souls.
Your job's not done,
You may not come,
'Til you've met other goals."

Bar
"You say your body's weak and frail,
And age renders you immobile.
You still can pray,
In many ways,
And still can hold your Bible."

"You're sorely needed yet to tell,
The story of My Son.
Help spread My Word,
Just as you've heard,
Speak out, tell everyone."

Bar
"This is a most wondrous time,"
He added then, and smiled.
"It's Christmas Day,
My Son's Birthday,
Oh, Merry Christmas, precious child!"
