JESUS IS THE REASON

When I was young
And too little to know
I thought "Merry Christmas"
Meant presents and snow
Just a big tree with tinsel and lights all aglow!

I didn't understand nor
Do I think that I cared
The "true" message of Christmas
Was the Love that God shared!

I'd heard about the King who was born in a manger
But what's the fuss about some baby who to me was a stranger?
It wasn't until I had children of my own
That my "heart-strings" were tugged and the void became known

I learned the most important thing about life is to love
And that Jesus, my Savior, was sent from above
His life an example of true love and devotion
The lights, sounds and hustle ... nothing more than commotion

So make no mistake
of this "Truth" I partake
His birth is the reason
to bring Joy to this season!
