"A Christian Man"

"A Christian Man" There once was a man who was plagued with sin, He didn't know what horrible shape he was in. One day he decided to give his life to the Lord, Because he wanted to be with one accord. Soon the Lord heard his humble cry, he said, "My child I will not pass you by." Jesus took away the sin and shame, he told him to cherish his new given name. Now go out and serve me as much as you can, I'll always be around to help you stand. As the trial and tribulations come and go, Don't stop calling on my name, for these things come to help us grow! If at anytime you think you can't make it, Remember my words and speak it out bit by bit. My word will be there to help you stand, you can't go without it, if you want to be grand. Today He is still in the Christian race, For someday he will see the Lord face to face.	The Cross Up a hill one lone man walks and all around Him is sadness He can hear loud cries as the guards talk But in the crowd there is madness! There is a cross that stalks Him Thee are guards who shove Him There is his father above Him And all those who love Him. Finally He reaches the top One nail, two nails, three nails... But he never tells them STOP!! For He knows His Father's plan won't fail... Up on the Cross the man hangs Father forgive them, for they know not what they do!! Those are the words of my idol in pain And with this HE slipped into the new!!
Its that time of the year again Its that time of the year again Jingles, laughter, parties and celebration. To wish someone dear and close, Miss someone the heart yearns, To Remember to Good old times, fun we had, Its that time of the year again. Its that time of the year again, When we dance, sing and party, And get the best decorations on the tree Its that time of the year again, When Santa rules everyone's thoughts, And you; mine.	Do you know it's Christmas, Do you know it's Christmas, A Little after Thanksgiving And a shade before New Year, A Day of triumphant light and love, Love ~ the feeling you and I share, and Light ~ it has brought to our lives. This Christmas is very special ! I have been granted my secret wish I have your lovely company.
The good old days Remember the good old days we spent Snowballs, your face, and the gifts. Laughers, tid-bits Those long hours waiting for Santa, And the gifts He left for us Merry-making, friends, and the Church Remembering the good old days, and an old friend like you In the best of spirit And wish you a very happy Christmas!	Christmas time Its Christmas time again The season of renewal Love, faith, charity And all that is beautiful Chimes greatly in to every heart Beating in celebrations Of Spirit, togetherness, and affirmation.

Christmas Poems by LMWillson [lmwillson_at_aol.com] It was a silent night in Bethlehem, When Christ our King was born, While shepherds watched their sheep, On that very early morn. A brilliant star was shining, Upon that sacred shrine, Of the Holy Family kneeling, Beside the manger of God Divine. The shepherds followed this radiant star, Of royal beauty bright, And listened to the angels sing, While praising God all through the night. Hosanna in the highest, Unto Him all nations sing, Christ our Saviour is born this night, \'Tis Christ our Saviour King. The radiance of His being, Will shine through all our lives, And crush the sins of all mankind, Upon which all evil thrives. Oh Blessed Child of Mary, To whom all the world will bow, \'Tis God\'s Son - The only One, To this our God forever will avow. Oh loving Saviour of mankind, The souls of man both then and now, Will sing Your praises forever, And unto You all knees will bow. Each year we\'ll celebrate Your birth, To please our God our King, And pray You will come again, So peace to this world You\'ll bring.

Christmas Adam Twas' two days before Christmas and all through Aunt Ova's house, all happiness ran amuck for such a clatter did arouse. Uncle Robert reads the paper and the rest watch TV. The ladies are in the kitchen. It's all tradition you see. Oh yeah, the men do some work too as we put up some window blinds. But there are football games on and the cooks now seem to pay no mind. Yet today has special meaning in this grateful happy family. One created by a member just as simple as can be. Like Adam before Eve one tradition is now borrowed. Christmas Adam is today. Christmas Eve comes soon tomorrow. They say Aunt Beth is the installer of this new holiday. Because of her we have plenty more to enjoy until Christmas Day. -by Juan Manuel Perez

Snow On The Cactus Snow in Texas Canyon. Snow in the Dragoon Mountains. Near Cochise and Geronimo's Stronghold; Snow on Triangle T Ranch. Snow on the cactus. Snow on the pine trees. Snow on the big rocks. Snow at the very end of March. Come to sunny Arizona. Ha! ...Though not really complaining. I just wasn't ready to see snow on the cactus. -by Juan Manuel Perez

Cherish His Christmas Christmas brings such a time of love Each tender heart holds so much of Unselfishness thrives, trust is strong The purpose to give, send love along. A time of pleasantries, patience too Good wishes to all, all feelings true Thankfulness follows each fine deed Gifts from our God, never from greed. Great the rewards that joy does bring Like the beauty in hearing angels sing We pray for our loved, each so dear Especially those who can't be near. Many leave home to bravely serve All freedoms we have, they preserve Do pray for our troops, as we should And their families too, if you would. Give thanks to our Lord, His only Son And cherish His Christmas, everyone. Roger J. Robicheau Former SP5 US Army ( POETICPLUMBER@peoplepc.com )
