Our Precious Gem

There once was a boy who was born on Christmas Day

No one knew just how much this would soon pay

For this day was was more than just a day


This boy was more than just a boy

His gift was more than just a ploy


Christmas was more than just about the toys,

For this boy knew why this day should be enjoyed


This boy had Christ within him

His joy was never dim

And he sang with great pride, the Christmas Day hymns


Never being grim,

he always made sure to thank God for making Jesus our Precious Gem,

Like the Star of David on the night he was brought in.


We should all be like the boy who never asked for toys,

Spending Christmas Day enjoying our Precious Gem.

This piece was inspired by keeping Christ in Christmas. So often we forget why we celebrate this joyus holiday. I wanted to remind those who have lost sight of Jesus during the holiday season.
