Christian Christmas Poems**************
|
I ain’t got no family, so my buddies fill the gap of a pretty wife who loves me, an’ kiddies on my lap. The ol’ bunkhouse is home to me— it shelters best it can, tho’ not like havin’ a real home, but it serves this workin’ man. When ranchin’ slows in fall, an’ winter chills the ground, wind is blowin’ thru’ the door an’ snow piles all around, It’s time to oil those bridles, saddles an’ the like— we huddle ‘round the woodstove, an hear tall-tales from Ike. Soon, Christmas Day is nearin’, an’ we make each one a gift— ain’t never somethin’ fancy, but it gives a guy a lift.  We hang our socks on clothesline stretched above the stove— no hearth above a fireplace with socks our mother wove. Me an’ my friends celebrate across this barren land. We hoist a tree to decorate, an’ do the best we can. The lady of the ranch house, bakes cookies, an’ a cake, to bring to us on Christmas Eve so we too can celebrate. We remember on this wondrous day the Lord brought forth His Son so’s we could be forgiven on this earth since life’s begun.
With no hats, we bow our heads, an’ get ourselves set straight. Each takes his turn a prayin’ ‘bout sinfulness we hate. ‘Cause, we fellers use some language of which we ain’t so proud, an’ fight at Gin too often, sometimes gittin’ awful loud. We drinks a bit, an’ dances lots in bars, an’ ol’ Grange halls, chase the ladies now an’ then, an Lordy, that ain’t all. But on this day, our mamas come back to our dim minds, an’ we remember that small church where our hearts was so entwined. Where we’d hear there was an’ afterlife, an’ pledge our sinful souls to try an’ be like Jesus in our daily life an’ goals.
It comes my turn for prayin’, I clear my throat, an’ start tryin’ to speak to the Father with somethin’ from the heart… I say, “Lord, if you’re listenin’ to this cowboy who’s dern rough, I’m seekin’ your forgiveness an’ prayin’ that’s enough.” Tamara Hillman ©2010 To watch the video of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by the Morman Tabernacle Choir. |

My vote is to have Christmas traditions all year round. You see at
Christmas time most people at least the ones I have met, always change just a
little for the better around Christmas. I do not know whether or not it is the
great yuletide Christmas carols, the festive atmosphere everywhere you go, or just some
hidden part in all of us that screams out,( I BELIEVE IN MORE THAN WHAT I SEE AROUND ME. ) You see, somewhere deep down inside we all believe in something better than we now have or see, and most of us feel a lot better when we help someone. Whether the person is in need or not, this feeling is what I call the feeling of Christmas, and we all should strive to feel this way all year long. Christmas 2011 is on December 25th and is the first Christmas of a new decade. The feeling of the Christmas holidays is truly all about family, friends and celebrating all things good.
