Christmas Poem 2008

Merry Christmas everyone. I have for a good many years written a poem on Christmas. Some have been silly and some made me cry. I do not claim to be a good poet but I am original. I hope if you read this one that you will enjoy it.

Christmas Poem 2008
 

The world is so full of trouble and woe,

Many fine people do not know which way to go.
 

It is a time of strife and great economic unrest,

Our faith it seems is going through a test.
 

Yet in this year of transition and change,

Where there are fears that cover quite a large range,
 

I have found a peace, and a new understanding,

All due to God’s grace which is ever abounding.
 

So much has been accomplished in this past year,

And this alone shows how His blessings are clear.
 

The project is complete and commencement is past,

The trip up to Raleigh was short and it was fast.
 

My support from my family made me realize my wealth,

I have discovered it is not found in dollars, knowledge, or health.
 

Faith, in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only real treasure,

And in its use I find real lasting pleasure.
 

But, in the realizing of faith like a little tiny seed,

We can accomplish something that is really a God sized deed.
 

My Lord who came in a manger so humble, and so meek,

Is the true source of strength for those of us who are weak.
 

Christmas is a time to celebrate our Lord’s coming to earth.

It is filled with food and decorations and a spirit of mirth.
 

This is due to the gift of grace from the child

Who came to the world, so lowly and mild.
 

The problems of men with all their trials and fretting and strife,

All come to naught when we look at His life.
 

He had a life of hardship in the mid eastern sun,

And over all life’s temptations the victory was won.
 

With teaching so deep so new and profound,

At first there were plenty of people around.
 

Then as He revealed the need for Him to die,

They all left Him and would not look him in the eye.
 

His victory over the grave is now very clear,

And this truth like his birth, is one we hold dear.
 

I have found that the Davis Family truly is blessed

Not from money or degrees, but only because this truth is confessed.
