You are my sister, you are my brother (poem)

28 Dec

You are my sister, you are my brother

You are my sister, to one family we belong,
You are my brother, and together we are strong.
We are the keepers, we have one world for which to care,
We are the lovers, we have one life we can all share.

Tomorrow will come, we need to seek out the right path,
Tomorrow is ours if, instead of tears, we learn to laugh.
One life we all have, with it we can learn to forgive,
One earth we all know, and the only world where we live.

We have just one chance, to give our children a tomorrow,
We have just one life, to bring happiness and not sorrow.
Will we let it all end? A world where nothing is alive,
Or will we become friends? So this precious world can survive.

The Manger (Christmas poem)

25 Dec

The Manger (Christmas poem)

The manger has been cleaned and prepared,
With all the straw the animals need,
Placed into the stable to be shared,
Between the animals, for their feed.

To the stable, with its manger ready,
Come two seeking for a place they can stay.
Joseph, a carpenter from Galilee,
Mary, who has a baby on the way.

Then during the night, Mary gives birth,
So, from the manger, a crib is made.
The son of God has come to the Earth,
And into the manger, he is laid.

Mary gently lays down his sweet head,
Our Lord sleeping peacefully within.
From such a humble and lowly bed,
Does the story of our Lord begin.

Just before Christmas (poem)

21 Dec

Just before Christmas

Just before Christmas the excitement is growing,
Children are playing and wishing it was snowing.
Santa’s reindeer are ready to pull his great sleigh,
So he can fill up their stockings with games to play.

Just before Christmas we sings carols out loud,
Sharing our happiness with others in the crowd.
Giving out kindness to strangers all around,
Laughing in joy at all the goodwill that is found.

Just before Christmas we rush around to prepare,
For that special day when the family are there.
So much to be done! But then it is all worthwhile,
When they open their presents and you see them smile.

Christmas, A time of forgiveness (poem)

07 Dec

Christmas, A time of forgiveness

A time of forgiveness, a time of goodwill,
A time to forget anger and let the wounds heal.
A time for the hope that came with His birth,
A time to reflect upon His work on this earth.

A time to remember those who cannot be here,
To raise up a glass and remember them with cheer.
Of the joy that you shared with them a long time ago,
For although they are gone, their love you still know.

A time of celebration with others around,
To make new friends of any strangers you have found.
To give to those who are less fortunate than you,
To help them find happiness, their hope to renew.

This time of the year should always bring peace,
As we look for the star that rose in the East.
As we remember the goodness that came from above,
And pray that to others, we can share some of His love.
