Two weeks ago at our Christmas meal, we had a poem writing challenge. We did not get a chance to read out the poems, so we wanted to pass these along for your enjoyment:
GROUP ONE
Christmas is a time I love
Bestowed on us from God above
In remembrance of Jesus’s birth
When He came to us on the earth
Jesus is the Christmas Star
The Wise men came near from far
To present the gifts; precious treasure
The sparking love beyond measure
The Lord, better than any tree
Told us to make Christians assembled be
Downham Baptist Church is great
Staying (there?) is only fate
A home for us to worship God
Who Shepherds us with a gracious road
Our King a blissful hope
In time of need He is our hope
My resolution for next year
Is to overcome all my fear
And present the Gospel to my friend
So they know what happens in the end
The poem’s over, here we go
I hope that I was nice to know
GROUP TWO
Christmas is a time I love
When family spend together and hugs
When so many present are unwrapped
And the New Year starts to be mapped
Christmas is a time to love
Jesus is the Christmas Star
There’s no Christmas without the Star
He is the very reason for the season
Come on celebrate the Star
Downham Baptist Church is great
Place to be
Great people attend
Christ-like love exists
Heavenly-bound we are
My resolution for next year
Although very many
I am resolute in fulfilling all
Not by will
But by His grace
I make a decision
to be a solution
To many problems
GROUP THREE
Christmas is a time I love
To give presents to everyone
All around the Christmas tree
Everyone sing with glee
Downham Baptist Church is great
Travis and Teri always pray and bake
My resolution for next year
To listen to everything
With both ears
