Christmas In Your Heart (by: JEG325)

[JEG325]

It’s not Christmas

Until it’s Christmas in your heart

It’s not Christmas

Until peace & joy become a part

-------------------------------------------

It’s not Christmas

Until it’s Christmas in your heart

Let us all join together

In a world of love we can start

-------------------------------------------

There’s carols on the radio

The weather has turned cold

There’s lights everywhere & the

Greatest story ever told

-------------------------------------------

The snow is falling down and

We’re all socked in tonight

Let’s join hands together &

Sing a round of Silent Night

------------------------------------------

We should think about the

Message from this day long ago

When God gave us a present

Because he loved the world so

------------------------------------------

It’s not about what we get

Or who’s under the mistletoe

Before this day passes by

We should let the world know:

------------------------------------------

It’s not Christmas

Until it’s Christmas in your heart

It’s not Christmas

Until peace & joy become a part

-----------------------------------------

It’s not Christmas

Until it’s Christmas in your heart

Let us join hands together

In a world of love we can start….

-----------------------------------------

And everyday can be Christmas

in your heart!

Lovely my friend. It is good to hear from you. Pam

[JEG325 in reply to sweetiepye]

Thank you. I found a new home on a poetry site called All Poetry. It is home to almost 70,000 poets around the world.

I have been doing wonderful there and getting much acclaim for my writing. It takes up most of my time.

But, I thought I should give back to those who helped me out of the worst of my problems by sharing one of my more successful song poems.

Thank you for the kind words. I plan to make more appearances here because Sue & I both feel I am still needed here too!

[sweetiepye in reply to JEG325]

It's wonderful to know we haven't lost you. Finding a home for your talent and to have it appreciated must be so satisfying . Good for you.

[Vanillaorchid in reply to JEG325]

That sounds like a cool site. It's amazing how many people can gather together on the internet these days, and connect with each other that have mutual interests.

[JEG325 in reply to Vanillaorchid]

Yep. If you want the link I can send it to you on the pm thread. H/U calls mentioning that kind of thing on this main site, 'soliciting'.

[JEG325 in reply to Vanillaorchid]

My Christmas poem is rockin' over there. By the way basic membership is free. You can write or read all you want with that....

[Sunnidayz1 in reply to JEG325]

Sounds like a new Christmas song to me! I like it. Thanks for sharing J

[JEG325 in reply to Sunnidayz1]

You are more than welcome my awesome friend!

Hi there my friend..how you doin?

Sparkles & dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy & hugs Pam!

[sweetiepye in reply to Hidden]

I am doing well. My Daughter and I are planning a retro Christmas. Which means we are trying to replicate the kind of Xmas my Mother-in-law used to create. This is our gift to my Husband. We are even making Mince Meat Pies. We aren't into gift giving as much as doing things for each other. It is more fun than Christmas shopping . And what are you up to ? Nosey people want to know. Pam

[Hidden in reply to sweetiepye]

Oh that sounds fabulous...it's not about the $..if folks think so they have it so wrong...just like J's poems says...you've got to have it in your heart...you go Pam, I'm happy for you!

Absolutely Beautiful and oh so true my pal!

I've got it in my heart this year...

Here's the story ~ Last night my honey & I played Santa on our 8 yr. old grandson...he's starting to Question...so last week when he saw the Fake Santa..his dad told him sometimes the real one checks in..he got off Santa's lap & said dad I think it was the real one...

So I got a 2ft. plastic candy cane for him...he doesn't like candy! I have sleigh bells also, along with a red coat & Santa hat, my hubby has a tummy so he can pull it off, ha! We went to the back door..I laid the candy cane down, hubby ho ho ho'd & rang the bells...feet don't fail us now..get out of dodge! We did..got in the car, our grandson couldn't see us , I'm sure his dad could...he was looking out the front door, then they all came walking out to go around back..as we were driving away we could see them looking maybe for footprints...got a text from our son...he said we pulled it off hook , line & sinker, oh they had just been at the store & he wanted that exact candy cane, didn't get it.. he did in the end & really believes now...Now Who was behind us pulling this off..Well we know who J....don't we? Our son also said it is a memory of a lifetime...after me coming up with this grand idea & pulling it off...I'm so excited for Christmas this year..like when I was a kid...

I've got the Spirit in my heart...

Thank you so much for your fabulous poem J!

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

I am very happy for you, L! Well done. I was just getting ready for bed but as soon as I saw your name on my messages I smiled.

A part of my heart will always be here on H/U with my family of friends that I have made.

A magic sleigh full of love, peace and happiness for you, my friend!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

JEG, your poem touched my heart and I will admit

tears of joy ran down my cheeks as I remembered

that the spirit of Christmas can be felt in our hearts

all year if we let it.

Thank you for reminding us of that beautiful

feeling called "Love".

Merry Christmas to our darling couple on this forum. xx

[JEG325 in reply to Agora1]

We love you too, A1. Yes, this poem was highly regarded on my poetry site and earned hi marks from my followers there. I though H/U would enjoy it too!

Love and hugs from both Sue and I to you, my friend!
