Merry Christmas from:

Becki, Teresa and William

Christmas time is the time to pause,
To give thanks for help from above,
To be thankful for our gift of life,
And the help of those we love.

Christmas time is the time to remember
That folks of all faiths are brothers;
It's the time of year we show our love
By caring for all our "others".

Christmas time is the time we give
A present to those we care for,
In memory of Christ who was born this day,
And in memory of those he died for.

Christmas time is a time for sharing
With everyone far and near,
that wonderful feeling of home and family,
The feeling that everyone is dear.

Christmas time is a time of gathering
Of everyone with cause to roam,
And everyone becoming as a child again
WIth memories of family and home.

Christmas time is a time of year's ending,
Of seeing how far you've progressed
Towards your life goals and general living;
A time of asessment and rest.

Christmas time is a time of good feeling,
Of knowing that God is near,
Of giving rebirth to our love of living,
Of knowing there's nothing to fear.

Christmas time is a time to say,
Thank God that I am free!
Merry Christmas to all that are able to say it,
And to all that soon will be.

A poem by Leonard F. Bischel
