Why Christmas
By May Kwek
You and I weren’t
there
On that first
Christmas night
We heard no song, no
baby’s cry
Didn’t even see the
star’s light
Yet we celebrate
Christmas
So many years later
About two thousand
years
If I correctly
remember
Why? We may well ask
It was so long ago
Why celebrate
something
And celebrate so much
so?
“Presents”
The youngest of us
would say
And Santa Claus and
Rudolph
In their merry sled
“Family”
The more elder of us
would reply
To meet again with
our loved ones
To chat beyond more
than “Hi”
“Food”
I can almost hear
My more mischievous
friends saying
Then secretly shaking
their heads saying it’s fattening
But why? Truly why?
Christmas was always
so much more
Presents, food and family
That can’t be all
I think it is the
same reason
The angels sang that
night
And three kings came
visiting
Following the star
light
It was because unseen
by most
Asleep in the hay
God made into man
Our saviour lay
Merry Christmas
Everyone!
