Christmas (Poem)

Who is this Man standing at the door?
I think I saw Him long time ago
He kind of looks familiar to me
Why the sad face I see
So I open the door and asked
Who are You and whom are You seeking?
So He looked at me with His sad eyes
Don’t you know Me?
Can’t you recognize Me?
I said to Him
I am sorry sir may be it has been a long while
But You kind of look familiar to me
So He said to me
It seems that there is no more Christmas?
I said to Him
Yes You are right, people now call it
Winter holiday
No one wants to know what Christmas is all about
They only want many gifts under the tree
Lots of food and drinks on the table
Friends and families around
Children happy and playful
So
He looks at me and said
I guess I am not invited today?
I am sorry sir
Today only for friends and families
So He looked at me with His sad eyes
And
Slowly He walked away
To stand at another door
Jesus
Please let not this happen to your children
