The Market Place

Here is a poem I wrote many years ago in Germany that I thought I would share with you, seeing as how it’s that time of year again. And to those of you that are not of my faith, I still want to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and lots of love and warm thoughts coming your way.


"The Market Place"

The Market place
At Christmas time
Happiness on every face
Drinking hot and spicy wine

Father, mother, child and dog
In every hearth a burning log
Executive, punk and sod
Celebrating the Son of God

Life is good and God is great
Each one caught up in their own fate
To toast hopes birth with spicy wine
God is great and life is fine

Laugh my child be full of joy
For you know nothing of evils ploy
To plant within you the seeds of discord
Live your life and love the Lord

The haughty, the high
The meek, the low
His birth neareth
This they all know

He died for you upon the cross
So that your soul would not be lost
Believe in him and in his pain
So that his sacrifice was not in vain

Enjoy, live life and celebrate
To invite him in is not too late
When you walk the path on which you go

Remember

He loves you more than you will ever know


Peace
Graehstone
