May This Christmas Poem by Alfred Barna

May this Christmas keep you warm

When the world has grown cold

May this Christmas hold back the storm

Until you are nestled around the one you wish to hold

May this Christmas find you a smile

That you waited for all the year

May this Christmas sit back and take awhile

One day, one night, forget all your care

It's just for a moment, tomorrow comes soon enough

Then we will unwrap them slowly, and the won't seem so tough



Christmas is like a child

Let some of that special innocence in

Christmas, sweet, warm and mild

Let some of that gentleness within

Like a gift that is given

More precious, than any you received

A life that is driven

More fulfilling that anything you once believed

Sleeping softly in a manger

With a light shining of the Lord above

Keeping saint and sinner out of danger

With the greatest message of His Love



May this Christmas give you so much more

Of the little things of which make life complete

May this Christmas put a spirit down upon that sore

Let it sink deep down, all the way to your feet

May this Christmas find you among ones you need

To catch up on things, and to cherish these times

May this Christmas within your heart plant a seed

That will prosper into a trellis filled with green vines

And when your vineyard has reached its time to host

You can gather your loved ones around, and share a toast
