A Dream of Christmas Present

Harold Dean Sink
Slipping away into my own dreams,

I thought of what Christmas means.

The birth of a child who would save us all,

From our own sins, would be his call.

His parents knew of who he would become,

They even knew their child would be a son.

His name was predicted long before his birth.

Now we wait for his second coming to earth.

Now I am dreaming of a special day,

One of love and gratitude on that special day.

Each person shares what they are thankful for,

As they speak from their heart down to their core.

An uncle tells of how he felt left out.

Yet he is so generous without a pout.

A sister compliments her mother

About how she takes care of her brother.

Nieces and nephews are clamoring for the floor.

Then all of a sudden there is a knock at the door.

It opens on its own to reveal the guest.

He is dressed all in white with a snazzy vest.

The man comes in to tell us a story.

He begins telling of the earth's first glory.

The story goes on in line with the Bible,

And leads to the food on the table.

Touching the bread it flattens and leavens.

Who is this guy? Is he from the heavens?

Taking up a glass of iced tea in his right hand,

It turns to wine, and he gives a command.

Drink of my blood and eat of my body,

For I will be back for everybody.

This is just a visit that was not mentioned.

So listen close and pay attention.

You don't know when I will be back for you.

So take heed and do as I tell you.

Tell everyone you know and others you knot not

Of my Father's word, Me, and you shall have a spot.

You may have read that there shall be

No other prophets after me.

Yet, I am more than a prophet you see.

I am God's son, your brother for eternal life.

Please stop living you life in such strife.

Believe and have faith in me for eternal life.

Then I woke up and was pleased

To have a dream that was not a tease.

God had spoken to me again.

It was his was to remind me that all are my friends.

Christmas day is the birth of Jesus Christ.

We should all be thankful that He gave his life.

Our sins are washed away as long as we ask.

God will forgive as it is one of His tasks.

Christmas is really not about the gifts

We receive or give to each other.

It is about sharing God's love with one another.

His word needs to be shared

So that everyone's life will be spared.

I don't write as much as I used to, but I do find it as a way to put my thoughts on paper or on the computer.  View profile

    I kept trying to edit this poem so that you could see the break in the stanzas, but as usual AC has something wrong with their editor.
