Day 7
Worship the King
Away in a manger
many years ago
lay a little baby boy
born to change the world.
Shepherd’s and wisemen
came to adore
donkeys and sheep
kept watch at the door.
When what to their astonished
eyes did they see
a man in red clothing
on a reindeer approaching.
With a wink and nod
and a twinkle in his eye
he bowed low to the ground
worshipping Jesus His King.
Then with a smile He said
“My present to you
I hope you’ll accept
is making your birthday
each year the very best.
I want to celebrate
your birth with the world
do you mind if I give gifts
to all girls and boys?”
Little boy Jesus
as sweet as can be
climbed into his lap
and gave him a squeeze.
Then with belly of laughter
Saint Nick strode out of sight
proclaiming “Merry Christmas to all
and to all a good night!”

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11
I know this may be a bit far-fetched (depending on a person’s understanding of the history of Santa Claus or Saint Nicklaus). I just wanted to make a poem that would hopefully give you a smile and an image of something you might not have thought of before: Santa worshipping Jesus.
I love Christmas and I am thankful for this time when we have the most joyful music and a time to be with family and friends. What a wonderful way to end the year!
