These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Waiting for Christmas

All the lights in readiness,
decorations wait,
Christmas Day will come to bless
those, who find it great.

Some day when The Lord returns
we will celebrate.
Will we see a table, wick, that burns,
Christ with lasting Mate?

Will we Christmas ever know
in that Heavenly land?
Will the Joy in Christ e'er grow
as from the first he planned?

Christmas is my favorite time.
Will it be fore'er?
Will the lights and notes, that chime
keep us children there?
