A Christmas Poem by John B. Tyree


“CHRISTMAS TREE AND GIFTS”
By John B Tyree

‘TWAS EARLY ON CHRISTMAS
AT THE BREAKING OF DAWN
WHEN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
WAS SPREADING ALL AROUND

EVERYBODY WAS AWAKING
FROM THEIR LONG WINTER SLEEP
WITH ALL OF THEIR DREAMS
HOPING SANTA WOULD KEEP

THEY ROSE FROM THEIR BEDS
AND WENT TO THE TREE
FOR ALL OF THEIR GIFTS
THEY WANTED TO SEE

THE TREE LIGHTS WERE BLINKING
BLUE, RED, GREEN AND WHITE
RECALLING THE CALM
OF THE STILL SILENT NIGHT

THE TREE ORNAMENTS SPOKE
OF THE GIFTS TO THE KING
THE TREE TINSIL SPARKLED
FOR THE JOY HE DID BRING

TREE SNOWFLAKES SPREAD PEACE
AND GOOD WILL TO THE EARTH
TO SIGNIFY HIS LOVE
AND THE COMING OF HIS BIRTH

SOME GIFTS WERE AS PRETTY
AS A FRESH SPRING FLOWER
OTHERS BORE THE SPIRIT
OF LOVE AND OF POWER

THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT
THAT WE DID RECEIVE
WAS THE TRUTH OF GOD
THAT WE CAME TO BELIEVE

THE MESSAGE THAT CAME
TO ALL MANKIND
WAS THE GIFT OF LIFE
FOR EACH ONE TO FIND


FROM WHOM CAME THE GIFT
THERE WAS NO BOTHER,
‘TWAS THE GIFT OF HIS SON
FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

FOR UNTO US A SON IS BORN,
WHOSE SHOULDES BORE THE GOVERNMENT
UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN
WHOSE LIFE AND DEATH PAID ALL OUR DEBT

GOD GAVE HIS SON
THE SON GAVE HIS LIFE
THAT WE MAY FORGIVE
AND HIM BE LIKE

LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER
SAID GOD FROM ABOVE
LET US KEEP ON GIVING
THE GIFT OF LOVE.
