Sonnet: Christmas is Forever

But Christmas isn’t a joy for just one day!
The gift supreme from God is for ever;
The baby boy-King incarnate on hay,
Without a dwelling place albeit manger!

The Prince of Heaven grew in holiness,
And quoted scriptures just when he was twelve!
His death on Cross was His special greatness,
An act of obedience in which we delve.

What love unfathomed God had shown to man,
Redeeming sinners from the devil’s hand!
The sacred blood can take all to Heaven;
Open your heart and prepare for God’s land!

The joy of Christmas should last through the year;
Let’s pray for peace on earth and live sans fear!
