He Is The Reason

The holidays are here again,
It's time to celebrate.
The birth of Jesus Christ our Lord,
The Chosen One so great.

We gather with the ones we love,
It's such a special time.
We open gifts and eat good food,
Our faces really shine.

The children squeal and laugh and play,
Their smiles tell it all.
I think we're all a bit like kids,
Excitement fills us all.

We gather for the Christmas meal,
We bow our heads and pray.
We eat our food while listening,
To what our loved ones say.

The kids are starting to slow down,
One climbs up on my knee.
We all refect upon our day,
While sipping lemon tea.

The house is quiet, all except,
Christmas carols playing.
"Joy to the world the Lord is come,"
Is what it was saying.

Tears fill my eyes; I'm so ashamed,
How could I go all day?
Without one thought of my dear Lord,
On this His special day!

I close my eyes and talk to God,
I thank Him for His Son.
For giving us Salvation,
And for making Christmas fun.

As you gather with your loved ones,
On this Christmas season.
I pray we all remember Christ,
For He is the Reason.
