We wander aimless in a world
of tears
Now to a stable cross two-
thousand years
Bringing our gifts to grace a
moment’s time
We lend our voices as one in
sweet rhyme…
Craig Froman " USA


This is a time for sacred human
rhyme
So through bless'ed love,
embrace love's present
Material gifts do but represent
The love that does
symphoniously chime
Gilad Levanon " South Africa


Wisdom through ages bear
down on me now
Glorious, transcending beneath
a star
Towards sacrifice and happier
times
We covet love and peace from
golden shrines
Poppy Silver - England


World of laity wanting to share
love
And a world of souls giving
thanks for love,
Accepting a gracious gift of true
love
A child is born under a distant
star.
Arthur Henn " USA


My heart swells as I pledge my
most prized gift
Glorious eyes azure as
sapphire...smile
For you know that my bid could
only be...
The eternal love of my love and
me.
Helen Woodward - Australia


This Scottish heather I lay before
you,
Brings luck from afar oh newly
born King,
And those who believe in this
miracle,
For you we'll honour, worship,
dance and sing.
Seashell - Scotland


When I consider what means
this one day:
That He who saves all there in
stable lay
I cannot but ask what role I
could play
To further His purpose, in my
own way...
Mark " USA


How the pressure of winter
skies reacts
Mouthing at the air, takes the
stars to steel
How the street looks now in
contented brights
The dark of a curb, to season of
lights.
Haz - Wales


Christmas tree covered in
colourful lights,
fairy on top with her magical
wings,
snow flakes are falling and
everything's white,
those christmas bells ring and
we're caroling!
Ghostofdawn - England


Let our love shine (all) through
the season
And let it ring from every nation
That god's greatest gift is the
(true) reason
We sing (out) for this merry
occasion
Mauricio Montoya " USA


But words I offer, mumbled
prayers, under breath
Goodwill for all, I don't want to
be heard
But the heart means every
muffled syllable
He speaks, prays best who
speaks the silent word.
Tomás " Cárthaigh - Ireland


Glistening snow cover christens
the earth
And the barren world is changed
to pure white.
It is by grace, through
Emmanuel’s birth,
Such darkness is overcome with
Love’s Light.
Michaela -


My heart beats fast with hope
Seeing the Christmas spirit in
action
But my mind can’t help but
conjure reasons why
These deeds are mere ghosts
the rest of the year.
The Rock and Roll Cowboy " USA


For the pleasantries our smiles
yield today,
harmonise the world firm in
times of war.
So here comes santa on
christmas carrol,
ready to share gifts to the
eversmiling kids.
Abd-afeez " Nigeria


Dawn has now broken, the
blessed day is ‘nigh;
Laying my gift of a DOVE at His
side,
I whisper a blessing for this
baby boy:
Beneath the most holiest sky,
and its brightest guide.
Shellie - Ireland


The new born king lies in the
manger,
As santa gifts even to the
stranger,
As we hear the jingle of bells,
The story of merry christmas it
tells!
Poet’s World - India


A child is born on this holiest
day
A present for mankind beyond
compare
We thank the Lord humbly:
"Rejoice! Be gay!"
Lift up your voices, for Angels
will share
WhiteWillow - USA

There’s LOVE, there’s PEACE
nationwide
As we once again celebrate,
The LIFE, the FAMILY we all can
find,
HE’s blessed us with abundantly.

Before the manger I set down a
gift:
A simple clay bowl, made with
little hands
Which left the bowl empty, as
do I now,
To fill it with unconditional love.
The Lonestar - USA


A saviour is born to this world
tonight
To this cold, dark evening, he'll
be the light
Tonight, the gift of worship I
give thee
'least I can do for you who set
me free
Tai " Guam

Celebrations song ...
A blazing yule log ... and good

Tannibaum, and yule wreath...
hasty puddings too..
All remind Us Joyfully ...season is
for Who.

Open wide the door, good news

born
World to the world wishes a
happy morn.

Beneath gleaming stars, Christ is
born this night
A babe whose glory angels’

'Tis for this King who will save
by His light
I come with adoration this noel

I bring you my humilty, such
that
My heart will open to learn from
the young
For great men retain the
wisdom of youth
and are honest before children
and God.

This day, when pen is dipped in
history,
I travel thoughts ‘cross ancient
lands to see
Where, in the sky a silver star
hung bright,
And offer love wrapped soft in
wondrous night.
Emma - England
