Keep Him

While presents are what we think makes the year

There’s more to the ending holiday than the winter cheer

While we anxiously await the coming of a man in a red suit

We forget who we are really waiting for - A man we call “The Truth”

While He doesn’t wear red like the jolly man adornes

He wears an important symbol - A crown filled with thorns

His first visit to us was on December 25th

Which, in my opinion, is greater than any gift

I love the nativity scenes and gape at the many decorations

For noticing the things he saved for me fills me with adoration

Christmas parties, eggnog, and gifts under the tree

Just don’t mean the same from you to me

For how you see your gifts are different than how I see

Because Santa didn’t bring the gift of life to me

Christmas is a reminder to all about how much God cares

For presents are for giving the love that we share

While the merry lights and Christmas cheer

Are something that we all hold dear

The infant Christ of lowly birth

Will bring good will and peace on Earth

I want to remind people to remember the real reason for the season.
