And all through my brain

I can’t help but wonder

What happened yesterday?

---

Perhaps it’s the excess

Of food in my belly

That’s turned all my thoughts

Into bowls full of jelly.

---

Or maybe the fact

That just a moment ago

The floor was covered with presents –

Where did they all go?

---

 But my biggest concern –

Did Christ receive glory?

Was His father pleased?

Did we remember His story?

---

 And now, a day later

Are we different than before?

Do we praise ourselves less?

Do we love others more?

---

 So, my prayer for all of us

This late Christmas season –

We’ll use His birth as a springboard

His life as the reason

---

To take Him to the world

Like the drummer boy drumming

Be the light we’re called to be —

 ‘Cause it’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming.
