The Spirit of Christmas Love Poems

The poems in this section celebrate the warmth, kindness, and love that fill the Christmas season, highlighting the power of human connection and generosity.

Christmas Love

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

There is something about Christmas,
That's different than all the rest,
It's a time when people act
Truly at their best.

The difference I think is
The love that is in the air.
People share with others,
And truly do care.

Love can change the world,
If we practiced Christmas love.
If we kept it all year long,
It would please God above.

So don't lose that feeling,
That love can create.
Love does make such a difference,
Oh, love is so great!

You Can't Buy

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

If I could wrap a present of something
That you can't buy,
I would wrap you up some love,
With a bow that I have tied.

The love we find at Christmas
Is not a material thing.
It is love that the world needs,
And change it would bring.

If our focus was on keeping love
All the year round,
More people would be happy,
There would be fewer frowns.

Think of the love that God showed us
When He sent his only Son.
He was telling the world that,
He loved each and every one.

Think of the love that God showed us When He sent his only Son What Is Christmas Poems

Christmas

Poet: Mark Edwards, S.M.

Now comes the time when love holds sway,
And grown-ups share in children's play.
And houses glow with varied light
And make a fairy-time of night,
And life is rich and warm and full,
And heartstrings feel the tender pull.

Wishing Love

Poet: Gertrude Rosenkild

Wishing the joy,
The faith and the love
That God in his mercy
Sends down from above.

Wishing the love
Of the Christ Child dear -
The love that God sent
To His children here.

A Time of Love Divine

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Christmas is a time of love divine,
When God's precious gift to us does shine.
His only Son, sent to bring us peace,
A love so pure, it will never cease.

Let's share this love with hearts so true,
Spreading kindness in all we do.
For Christmas is the season to adore,
God's love in our hearts forevermore.

Because

Poet: Mary Stoner Wine

I saw the candlelight's soft glow,
A gleaming path across the snow,

And through the window's filmy lace
There came a radiant, subtle grace;

For Christmas trees with burning light,
Adorned to greet the holy night,

From every window, each hearthstone,
With hopes expectant gladness shone.

Oh, homes so beautiful, so bright,
Reflecting joy and peace and light,

Oh, homes that send through winter's chill
Your silent hymn of peace, goodwill,

Why do your cozy hearth fires burn,
And those you sheltered now return?

Because, to you, from heaven above
There came God's gift, God's gift of love.

There is love at Christmas because Christmas was born of love. Let us, each one, keep alive this spirit of love and glorify God. Josepha Emms Christmas Quotes

The Christmas Miracle

Poet: Zelma S. Dennis

The miracle of Christmas
Is the gift of Love,
That shines like radiant star-rays
From the heavens above.

It comes and blesses every need
Of the human heart,
And her the Christ-like spirit
Inspires every part.

The miracle of Christ-love
Now I give to you,
To illuminate your Christmas
And all the whole year through.

God's Gift Of Love

Poet: C. A. Lynch

In this season divine and bright,
We give thanks for a wondrous sight,
God's gift of love, His only one,
His precious Son, our saving one.

Let the miracle of Christmas glow,
Fill our hearts with love that flows,
May joy and peace be all around,
As God's grace in us is found.
