Christmas

Did we miss its real meaning
when all that we were dreaming
was of gifts and of receiving
some useless, soon forgotten thing?

How could it be that we've forgotten
after all the blessings we have gotten
have we come to be so rotten
that we care not about our Lord?

Are we so blind that we don't care
about that king by which we swear
who born this day and came to dare
dark death to leave us be?

Tell me how we cannot see
that he who came for you and me
is merely destined just to be
drowned out by dinner and some tree!

Or do we still remember
in the later of December
he who came to us in winter
and will come again sometime?

Yes! Christmas still has meaning
still is more than just receiving
as some people still are dreaming
of Christ the King, our Lord!
