Winter Haiku
(from T.B.)
Read both options. How does the meaning change depending on the placement of the period?
Opt. 1
I giggle and fall.
In the drift of crystal white
Snow Angel appears.
Opt. 2
I giggle and fall
In the drift of crystal white.
Snow Angel appears.
Christmas Poem
(from B.C.)
The angels in the snow with their beauty
Remind me of my duty
To Christ, as a child he did come
So that I might have freedom.
The Ultimate Gift
(from J.M.)
As the stockings were hung by the chimney with glee
Some are for others but one is just for me.
As we hang all the ornaments and light the Christmas tree
I gaze down under to the nativity scene I see.
All of the wooden figures that put me in the mood
Especially baby Jesus in a bed made for food.
One day, all the earth will give joy
For the one simple birth of this tiny little boy.
He changed the course of history by changing the way of life
No matter who you are, boy or girl, husband or wife.
He cleansed our lives and took away the loss
He did this by giving his life on the cross.
They wrapped his dead body and laid him in a tomb
But three days from then, it was just an empty room.
All his words and teaching he gave
Had just one purpose, to seek and to save.
His arms are wide open to anyone that is willing
And he will come into their hearts like a much needed filling
He has love for everyone no matter why they have done.
How is this possible? Well he is simply the chosen one.
So next time you see all the gifts under the tree
Just remember Jesus died, for every human being
Eternal life may seem far away, like a drift
But through the living Christ it is truly the greatest gift.
