Christmas Poems Page 3My Christmas Wish To YOU By Catherine Pulsifer If I could wish a wish for you, it would be for peace, faith, and happiness not only at Christmas, but for the whole year through! I wish that there always be food on your table. That you always give to those less fortunate. May you always take time to share, and thank those who have blessed you. I wish for time, so you may reflect on the blessings that you have, and that you express your love to those who are dear to you. May you never feel lonely, because there are those who care. That you realize: you are special, you are unique, you make a difference, not only at Christmas, but all year! I wish for your thoughts to be positive ones, that you never quit, that you never give up, and that you continue to learn. I wish for the love, and peace of God, to be yours always. ![]() May You Always by Catherine Pulsifer Faith, hope and charity May we always have these Not just at Christmas time But all the year throughout. We tend to have more faith More hope and charity During the season But can we keep it always May you always have Something to hope for Faith in something bigger than you And, dreams that come true. And may you always Share with others Your blessings as a result Of your hopes, faith, and dreams. A Child's Wish by Catherine Pulsifer, ©2017 Their eyes were dancing, filled with joy Just looking at all those toys. The children were visiting a store that day In hopes to see Santa come their way. They sat on his lap They said not a word. But his jolly old self Well he made them relax. The children they told him Their most wanted wish Santa smiled at them And gave them a kiss When they woke Christmas morn They raced to the tree And you should have heard them shout with glee. Santa made wishes come true you see! The Three Kings of Cologne Poet: Eugene Field From out Cologne there came three kings To worship Jesus Christ, their King. To Him they sought fine herbs they brought, And many a beauteous golden thing; They brought their gifts to Bethlehem town, And in that manger set them down. Then spake the first king, and he said: "O Child, most heavenly, bright, and fair! I bring this crown to Bethlehem town For Thee, and only Thee, to wear; So give a heavenly crown to me When I shall come at last to Thee!" The second, then. "I bring Thee here This royal robe, O Child!" he cried; "Of silk 'tis spun, and such an one There is not in the world beside; So in the day of doom requite Me with a heavenly robe of white!" The third king gave his gift, and quoth: "Spikenard and myrrh to Thee I bring, And with these twain would I most fain Anoint the body of my King; So may their incense sometime rise To plead for me in yonder skies!" Thus spake the three kings of Cologne, That gave their gifts, and went their way; And now kneel I in prayer hard by The cradle of the Child to-day; Nor crown, nor robe, nor spice I bring As offering unto Christ, my King. Yet have I brought a gift the Child May not despise, however small; For here I lay my heart to-day, And it is full of love to all. Take Thou the poor but loyal thing, My only tribute, Christ, my King! ![]() God Bless Us Every One Poet: James Whitcomb Riley "God bless us every one!" prayed Tiny Tim, Crippled, and dwarfed of body, yet so tall Of soul, we tiptoe earth to look on him, High towering over all. He loved the loveless world, nor dreamed, indeed, That it, at best, could give to him, the while, But pitying glances, when his only need Was but a cheery smile. And thus he prayed, "God bless us every one!" Enfolding all the creeds within the span Of his child-heart; and so, despising none, Was nearer saint than man. I like to fancy God, in Paradise, Lifting a finger o'er the rhythmic swing Of chiming harp and song, with eager eyes Turned earthward, listening-- The Anthem stilled--the angels leaning there Above the golden walls--the morning sun Of Christmas bursting flower-like with the prayer, "God bless us Every One!" This Christmas From The Editors of McCall's Magazine This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trust. Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind; be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency. Express your gratitude. Go to church. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it still once again. Christmas is celebration, and there is no celebration that compares with the realization of its true meaning - with the sudden stirring of the heart that has extended itself toward the core of life. Then, only then, is it possible to grasp the significance of the first Christmas - to savor in the inward ear the wild, sweet music of the angel choir; to envision the star-struck sky, and glimpse, behind the eyelids the ray of light that fell athwart a darkened path and changed the world. ![]() Smile On Poet: Mary Ann Ross © 2017 Peace, love and happiness this season Cheer spread all around you and yours' for this reason For your heart is pure and kind And compassion rests on your mind Not as pure as snow But not as cold as ice Just cause you are human we know And as good as they come you are nice So my prayer for you this moment and forever Boxed up as gifts but invisible like words Is that this smile on your face shall not fade ever For He shall supply all your needs, for He is God So smile on, smile on Take in the better around you The gift of life and the clothes you have on The meal on your table and the roof over your head too Smile on, smile on Share what you have Christmas brings peace Be oh so glad!
