A Christmas Poem (Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Just before Christmas day
my darling wife came to me
with a huge smile and her eyes all glittery
while we did set up a small decorated tree,
did heartfelt prayers to God pray

while life did still happen as it may
and that special day had a lot of tranquility
while we thought about a child that did set the world free,
that told the people of the world how love should really be
and every person may believe as he or she may

but we thought about His birth, life and suffering
and soon He will be returning as the everlasting king.
