Christ"m"as Love! Part 4 of 4)

 
Scene 2: Christmas Love!
 
So the authority agreed to a subtle change in name
As long as none were blatantly brought to shame
 
The children caroled and behaved with respect
There were no complaints, not even one did object
 
For the finale they lined with poster board painted
When rolled in a manger scene, the teacher about fainted
 
Each letter was raised for the audience to see
Spelled out the message they meant it to be
 
Z. Tyler: “C” is for Children summoned by His clarion call
Lauren: “H” is for Heaven which welcomes them all
 
Lexi: “R” is for Rhythm of the Little Drummer Boy
Anna: “I” is for Independent, Individual joy
 
Z. Tyler: “S” is for Saints above and on earth
Lauren: “T” is for Trinity declaring His birth
 
Lexi: “M” is for Me, never forgotten
Anna: “A” is for Angels who honor the begotten
 
Z. Tyler: “S” is for our Salvation-Redemption
Lauren: “L” is for Love without any condition
Lexi: “O” is for Others to join in the fun
Anna: “V” is for Virtue in God’s own Son
 
All: “E” is for Eternal Grace every day
All: The exclamation point is a Christian in every way
 
All (singing): Go ahead and love your neighbor, go ahead and kiss a friend
All (singing): Do it in the name of Jesus, He will bless you in the end
 
All (singing): On sacred every hereafter day
All (singing): One true Christian rides away
 
Dead silence enveloped the audience in its confusion
Staring at the spelling, they couldn’t get its conclusion
 
The “M” letter was sitting quite upside down
A “W” meaning exacted smiles from a frown
 
The children didn’t know what they held above
The true message today, simply: Christ-was Love!
 
All (singing): Silent night! Holy night!
All (singing): All is calm! All is bright!
 
All (singing): Round yon virgin, mother and child
All (singing): Holy Infant, so tender and mild
 
All (singing): Sleep in heavenly peace
All (singing): Sleep in heavenly peace
 
All: Amen!
 
All (singing): We wish you a Merry Christmas!
All (singing): We wish you a merry Christmas!
All (singing): We wish you a Merry Christmas!
All (singing): And, a life of good cheer!
 
All (shout!): Merry Christmas!
 
The End
