Shopping Mall Christmas

Volume 29  Issue 10, 11 & 12 | Posted: December 15, 2015

Sing a song of Christmas
Pockets full of dough
Malls full of shopping carts
weaving to and fro
Decorations, sparkling lights
and endless Christmas tree
God knows how many Santas
with children on their knees!
Oompa bands and carolers
in endless Christmas song
If Christ came to a Mall today
where would he belong?
Sometimes I can’t help thinking
as I battle through the din
He’d find today, as yesterday
there’s no room at the Inn…
