My Father Christmas by Dontel Rajis

My Father Christmas,

You sent your only son on our behalf to give us the gift of life,

A gift that is eternal and pure,

A gift that is so precious it had to be wrapped in a human body

And not a gift bag,

A gift that wasn't meant for only today but

A gift that we enjoy in our lives daily in new excitement.

We celebrate today because it is the day our lives

Were affected at the arrival of your gift

Which scared joy with rest in our heart and perfect change in our lives.

We acknowledge the reason for the season

Your son Jesus who though the journey of delivering this gift

Was pain filled, still decided to embark on it.

Jesus, the author of the gift of life we have,

A name we will never forget.

Merry Christmas!!!

For without you today would have lacked value

And had no definition.

Thank you.
