Christmas Is a Song of Joy and Love

December 25, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since Christmas falls on a Monday this year, we’ll have one more Christmas poem for today and then begin the theme of new beginnings tomorrow, in honor of the New Year.

Today’s poem is a Christmas poem to a child about the importance of giving at Christmas.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Christmas is a song of joy and love,

However it is sung, however rendered,

Rich source of childhood pleasures that will prove

In later life a lesson long remembered.

So may you share the joys of Christmas time,

Though still a child, by giving more and more,

Making child and adult combine

As slowly, slowly you approach that door,

Surer of what giving might be for.
