a child like no other came into this world
He is the real reason for celebrating
for He will be the one who saves the world
yet His gift is mostly disparaged, forgotten
among the gifts that glitter and wow
we forget we are a city not forsaken
when we act like kings who cannot bow
although I love Him, I am just as guilty
of not taking time to pay Him homage
caught up in Martha-like hospitality
that wearies me and brings calorie damage
what i wish for is time to sit and chill
make room in my heart for the newborn lad
to radiate peace on earth, to all, goodwill
enthrone Him within; serve with spirit glad
to the ends of the earth banish sadness and pain
we can, if we embody the crux of Christmas
it's all about love, making it our daily refrain
and with the Family rejoice beyond Candlemas
