Christmas, Giving And Changing Poem by Noel Tupan

One of the great occurrences in humanity
The birth of Christ is one that we could say
For it shows God’s love and generosity
A gift that we should cherish everyday

On Christmas, as we go out and celebrate
Reflect that it’s because of the Christ’s birth
It is the season for joyful cheers
And not the time for solitude and tears

As we go out on Christmas morn
Flaunting the new garbs that we put on
Forget not that the Christ was born
Simple and not with precious clothes on

Christmas is the time for giving
And also the time for changing
Change from the unpleasant to better
Should be a habit and not just for a year

You may think that it would be unusual
Or a change could be so special
But bear in mind that with the Christ’s coming
God performed a very unusual thing
