The True Meaning Of Christmas

posted February 4, 1999

by Brian Walters


In todays day and time, it's easy to lose sight,
of the true meaning of Christmas
and one special night.

Amidst the tinsel and glitter of ribbons of gold,
we forget about the child
born on a night so cold.

When we go shopping we say "How much will it cost?"
then the true meaning of Christmas
somehow becomes lost.

The children look for Santa and a big red sleigh
and forget about the child,
whose bed was made of hay.

In reality when we look into the night sky,
we don't see a sleigh
but a star burning bright and high.

A faithful reminder of that night so long ago,
and the child we call Jesus,
whose love the world would know.
