A Don Bosco Christmas

‘Twas the novena before Christmas and all through the residence,

there were candles and a crèche that pointed to God’s presence.

The decorations were up and the tree stood grand and tall,

and our house was made ready for a grand ole ball.

The youth at the parish and center had been prepared very well,

to be open for signs of His coming like a sleigh with its bell.

And Mama Margaret rallied all to one welcoming heart;

that Don Bosco desired to play his every part.

And so let everyone offer all that you can,

to make known how Jesus came among us as man.
