"Frosty"-the-snowman is "Santa's" very favorite! And---It snowed today! Yea!

 
Santa Claus and Frosty
 
In a little country village setting, some decades now past
A boy enjoyed life’s production and so loved the special cast
Prayed he such a splendid fantasy would longer than forever last
 
Christmas Magic in the air when each year is nearly done
With school and church and family, his days were intently fun
Life for the pure joy-of-living and his time had only just begun
 
Money might be scarce, no one would ever mention
Love provided all the little children’s required attention
Lessons taught and virtue learned begot generous ascension
 
By age of twenty it was Santa Claus he wished to be
Pushed life flat out, head first, foot loose and spirit fancy free
Tried he to emulate that perennial jolly snowman aptly titled “Frosty!”
 
Found truth in “Better to give than to receive”
Whatever they may desire or need, he would conceive
The world to each, satiate spiritual needs, which he did perceive
 
A single orange, his father’s Christmas, one bleak year
Thankful and overjoyed, but the telling brought his grandma’s tear
From those saints before, now gone, he learned to Santa Claus and Frosty hear
 
Praise God in Faith! As His Word so sacred say
Honor Family! Through Love in Santa’s one horse sleigh
Glory to Freedom! Believe Frosty will reappear one fine day
 
Should, dare I, make the world a better plan
Just love God and extend to lowly man a helping hand
A holy challenge to live like Santa and that Frosty snowman
 
This United States---Love it or leave it
This precious Life---Live fully and do not deceive it
This sacred challenge---Like Santa and Frosty…venture to believe it
Amen!
 
And---
 
 
Innkeeper
 
Holy Mary, Joseph sojourn to Bethlehem attend
No welcome for expectant mother did anyone extend
 
“Full house” a host’s prized perfect dream
Double price, five times, then ten, the scheme
 
Offered travelers quarter in rustic stable nook
Unread the King’s arrival in Spirit holy Book
 
Not aware the baby, Jesus born, mankind’s Savior
Might display a little class, show a bit saintly behavior
 
Must have felt uncomfortable twinge of danger
Viewing celestial star above our Redeemer’s manger
 
Awakened to the herald angel clarion trumpet call
Announcing God’s Son birth to shepherd and to all
 
Blessed Virgin mother’s Son lay in a crib of hay
Lowly animals bow respect and glory, honor pay
 
Innkeeper impressed by gifts three wise men bring
While heaven endowed man with our greatest King
 
Had he only known then, offered his own house for sure
For Him, of you and me, keep each spirit-soul pure
 
Profit room-renter, in reflection, offered forgiveness prayer
Confess, we humbly ask redemption in His Light full glare
 
Forget know Him when we stumble and fall?
Wear Faith, badge of honor, always to stand tall
 
Where found I on God’s sanctified Salvation tree?
On the holy path pray I led my loving Family
 
Bestowed free will to live Christian values come
Choose virtuous decisions to honor true Freedom
 
Have, even I, worshiped Him more than an ancient hotel man?
Humble me, Lord, to become near, at least, like a holy man
 
Amen!
