The Father's Christmas Wish Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. (13) And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. The Gospel of Luke 2: 11-14 KJV

If we could ask God questions, and He'd answer everyone,
About our celebrations of the birthday of His Son,
I doubt He'd mind the story of the jolly man in red,
Or things like red-nosed reindeer, or sugar plums in one's head.

I doubt He'd mind the music or the songs we love to sing,
From dreams of a 'White Christmas' to the 'Jingle Bells'' Jing-a-ling;
To 'O Little Town of Bethlehem, ' a song we all know well.
Or 'Silent Night, Holy Night, ' and then 'The First Noel.'

But I believe if God could have one Christmas wish today,
He'd probably want what you would want, were it your son's birthday:
Enjoy your celebrations, and sing to your heart's delight,
But don't forget that my Son Jesus was born on Christmas night.'
