Christmas Eve in Texas

By Walt Perryman

The day before Christmas in the Lone Star State,
People are standing in line and having to wait.

Tomorrow is Christmas, we want to have fun.
We wait until the last day to get things done.

But, sit down this morning before you start,
Take a deep breath and open your heart.

Listen to God in silence for a moment or two,
Forget about all the stuff that you need to do.

Think about what happened 2024 years ago,
Thank God from your heart, before you go.

But don’t forget the reason we celebrate for,
It’s not just about Gifts, but it’s about a lot more.

Now get busy because today is the last one,
If not for last moments, it never gets done.
