Lesson Learned
by W. Yvonne Birnell Christmas comes just once a year And children hold it very dear They gather round the Christmas tree Hoping soon their gifts they'll see Imagine if you will with me Just sit back so you can see What it's like for girls or boys Watching others open toys Sitting there with eyes aglow Thinking man they're moving slow Mom and Dad please get to me It's my gift I want to see Then the time has come at last Opening gifts is finally past Children laughing running round But there's one who's looking down The one who's looking down you see Many years ago was me The pain I felt inside that day Made me want to run away With gifts of toys I was let down But it's love that day I found When my big sis saw what was done Gave three dollars not just one I've grown up I've moved along And in God I have grown strong The past can't hurt me anymore My big sis I still adore Now extra gifts I keep around I refuse to watch a frown An image in my mind is burned I Thank God for my lesson learned Saved by the grace of God.
