Second Attempt

A baby was born,
Who was to be king,
But was born in a barn,
A most unseemly thing.

The child was small,
With such perfect form,
That none would suspect
Of the upcoming storm.

From the moment he breathed,
To the moment he laughed,
His days were numbered
To when he'd breath his last.

The reason he lived
Was that he had to die,
To save us all
And he complied.

God had a plan
For his only child,
So as he watched him grow,
I think that he smiled.

But then it happened,
That cold, dark day,
His son gave his life
And thus gave us the way.

Now we can join God,
In heaven above,
And thank him for sending
His child of love.

Ok, so I guess it could be better, but I am getting hungry and I can't think of anything else. Sorry. Merry Christmas!!!! ...Eve...

Merry Christmas

Ok, I thought of this quickly and it's clearly not good. It doesn't have a good rhytm and the rhyming is questionable, but for a last-minute poem I think it's alright...

May your Christmas be joyful,
And full of good cheer,
Your Eve be wonderful
And so your new year.

When the presents are opened
And the chocolates passed round,
Remember the past year,
And friends that you've found.

Remember your family,
The close and the far,
And send them your wishes
Then wish on a star.

Then think of the people,
Asleep on their beds.
And also the people
In the cold, without threads.

The homeless, the hungry,
The angry, the sad,
Remember the reason
Why Christmas is had.

Remember the child
That you saw on the street
Who goes to sleep hungry
And dreams food to eat.

Remember the man
Who's life is all wrong,
And give him some bread
Or some hope, in a song.

Remember the woman,
Hair dirty and curled,
Who gave birth to a child
To save the world.

Remember her boy,
Who died on the cross.
And the world was saved,
At his Father's loss.

Why did he come down
From heaven above?
To show us all
His father's love.

It's Christmas time again.
So be of good cheer,
But don't forget those
Who watch it disappear.

I know, I know, I could do better. I think I had a good one somewhere...I will try to find it...

Oh, ~ Captain Bonnie Spinner.
