A poem trying to show the true meaning of Christmas.
Advent is here, it’s a time to prepare,
A time for waiting, a time for prayer.
Let’s not forget whose coming is near.
Let’s all stand as one and rejoice that he’s here.
Let’s make a wreath of leaves dark and green,
With ribbons and candles that brightly gleam,
And red holly berries that shine bright as his blood
Which Christ Jesus shed, as God said he would.
Let’s all think of gifts we can give to the old,
Whose families are gone and who live in the cold.
Let’s decorate a tree to light up their hearts
And bring comfort and cheer before we depart.
Let’s think of the children in lands far away,
Who know little of Jesus or of Christmas Day.
Let’s offer our prayers for the hungry and poor
Let’s share what we have and not shut the door.
Though we are weak, please help make us strong,
And guide us in knowing what’s right and what’s wrong.
Then we will remember how great was the day,
The Lord Jesus came to show us the way.
Though Christmas has passed, and its not coming for a while yet,
I think this is a wonderfully written poem 
and that is great news that you’ve won a poetry competition with this piece
Cheers!
