Christmas Poem

We recieved a Christmas picture and poem today from John and Darlene Van Holland. Darlene loves to write poems and I would love to share her Christmas poem with you all.

As you grow older, you really will see,
How quickly time passes and you need to be:

Thankful each day as the dawn starts to break,
That you are alive, alert and awake.

The white snow is falling, the seasons they change,
And God in His wisdom never fails to arrange-

A time to be quiet or singing for JOY,
A time for retirement or a time you're employed.

The season may crunch you, your funds they are low,
But thank God for the Savior He sent here below.

There is food on your table, roof over your head,
And no one I write is without a bed.

We are thankful for friends and family as well,
If it is cold where you live or in the sunshine you dwell;

May God Bless you this Season; with His arms hold you tight,
If you are lonely or fearful at night;

We care and really wish you the best,
A Joyful Christmas and A New Year that's blest.

Love, John and Darlene Van Holland

That's neat. A talent I don't possess.
