A Christmas Poem for All Seasons

God made flesh is born,
Innocent, pure lamb of God,
To die for our sins.

There’s no greater love,
Nor is there a greater hope,
For all who believe.

Unwortrhy am I
And yet He still died for me,
Forgives me my sins.

Believers rejoice,
But let us all remember,
He loves ALL of us.

Believers and non,
All humans are our brothers,
And our sisters too.

Let us not forget,
God made man came to teach us,
To love, not to hate.

Whether you believe,
That He is the Son of God,
Or you believe not.

Most Prized Christmas Gift

To Sleep Perchance to Dream (haiku teaser)

Can our dreams kill us?
One man’s struggle holds the key,
Proof his legacy.

My Christmas Wish to All

God made flesh is born,
Innocent, pure lamb of God,
To die for our sins.

There’s no greater love,
Nor is there a greater hope,
For all who believe.

Unwortrhy am I
And yet He still died for me,
Forgives me my sins.

He loves ALL of us.

Believers and non,
All humans are our brothers,
And our sisters too.

Let us not forget,
God made man came to teach us,
To love, not to hate.

Unsung Heroes 1-6: Links to both print and read versions

My longest free-verse poem to date is Unsung Heroes. The first four parts were printed in my first book of poems Of Pain and Ecstasy in 2011 and the last two parts in my second book of poems, Echoes of Dawn at Dusk, in 2011. Parts of these are printed elsewhere in this blog, but since I posted all six parts anew on AllPoetry.com with accompanying links to podcasts with my reading of each part, I’d like to post the links here for easy access for those who may not have read the originals or who ma...
