A Baby's First Christmas

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: December 25, 2011

It really is a gift from God…

A baby's first Christmas
brings joy to the world
of the little one's mother and dad.
And though far from silent,
the nights are a gift
as they cradle what makes their hearts glad.

Much like Mary and Joseph
they ponder God's love
packaged up in an infant so small.
And with firsthand perception
they picture that birth
that took place in a Bethlehem stall.

Yes, a baby's first Christmas
is really a gift
for it gives brand-new parents a key
to unlocking the joy
and the wonder that's found
in the truth "God became just like me!"
