Christmas Time
By Terri Bonow
Jolly old saint nick
said he’d arrive
Christmas night
I look forward to that big elf
arriving all red in stealth
But I feel the cold
yet know well wintery tales
so old
Somehow the cycle turns a-new
each year- it’s so true
With short days, comes
spiritual ways
and yearnings
They announce
the briefest days
longest nights
The power of Jesus
the birth so righteous
brings us around
To the fold, to hold
all that is true in our
souls
We gather together
eat, hug, share
feel the magic forever
With green trees so fragrant
lights so very pleasant
Packages colorful and bright
shared with such delight
The songs played purely
so together so surely
With Christmas time
We love, adore, and celebrate kindness
