Thinking Of You This Christmas    

By Paul McCann

I know you can’t be here this Christmas
and the home will be strange without you ,

As we hand out the gifts to each other

I will put one aside just for you  .

You are spending Christmas this year

In a different place where you are on Earth ,

But one thing is always be the same

As we celebrate baby Jesus’s  birth ..

 I feel like I’m walking through a wilderness

looking for a place to find rest  ,

I know how Mary and Joseph must have felt

When their Faith was put to the test .

Then as Christmas came for the very first time

in a place where Jesus had come.

 peace and  joy where no strangers there

and baby Jesus welcome home everyone,
 

We can all feel at home in the manger

with the spirit of love and good cheer.

and I look forward to seeing you soon

when you return here in the New Year .
