Jesus and Santa

 

My dear precious Jesus,
I did not mean to take your place,
I only bring toys and things
and you bring love and grace.
People give me lists of wishes
and hope that they came true;
But you hear prayers of the heart
and promise your will to do.
Children try to be good and not to cry
when I am coming to town;
But you love them unconditionally
and that love will abound.
I leave only a bag of toys
and temporary joy for a season;
But you leave a heart of love,
full of purpose and reasons.
I have a lot of believers
and what one might call fame;
But I never healed the blind
or tried to help the lame.
I have rosy cheeks and a voice full of laughter;
But no nail-scarred hands
or a promise of the hereafter.
You may find several of me in town or at a mall;
But there is only one omnipotent you,
to answer a sinner’s call.
And so, my dear precious Jesus,
I kneel here to pray;
To worship and adore you on this,
your holy birthday.
