The Christmas Guy:

by Scott Cole   Dec 24, 2019


He has long wavy hair
And a beard that matches it,
His appearance is intriguing
In both curiosity and outfit.

He's known the whole World over
Such a heavenly sight to behold,
And our heartbeats are on it's edges
Waiting for his arrival to unfold.

He has a wrapped gift for whoever
For those that hold him dear within ,
Despite all the rumors they've heard
If your naughty he's not your friend.

So all souls are watching the skyway
To see him make his sudden debut,
For it could happen at any moment
That's why our eyes are always glued.

But it's not the gifts that are to be
It's the gift we've already received,
That which will come to us faithfully
Because we do trust him and believe.

You know that it's your hearts wish
If it makes us break down and cry,
But it's not that gift we're dying to get
It's the one we're getting cause he died.

For it was Jesus not Santa Clause
That first came to us on this festive day,
He who would later deliver our sins
And promise his return to us someday.
