As the thermometer drops and the stress
levels rise,
The blitzkrieg of Christmas dances
across your eyes.
And as you rush about to get your chores
done,
You’re planning that Christmas that is “second to none”.
That list with the items that runs on
and on,
Has way too many blanks and not enough
done.
The days are ticking down to that ole
twenty-five,
It will be here soon…in a blink of an
eye.
And as you approach that moment where
everything slows,
It might be exhaustion or it might be
the close…
You notice those about you have a bit of
a glow,
A twinkle in the eye like they’re “in the know”.
And what is this secret that everyone
keeps,
The one that is with us, even in our
sleep?
The one that lightens our steps and
softens our ire,
That makes us more generous than we
usually are?
Is it the peace of the Savior, the
reward of faith’s way?
Is it the truth that we’re better than
we are most days?
Is it the good we see from others that’s
typically hidden and coy?
Or is it the laughter of the children
and their essence of joy?
There’s just something about the
Holidays that makes it all …pure,
That makes it OK to be something other
than…sure.
To readily admit that all the answers
aren’t there,
And to live a few days without a fret or
a care.
To look for the best in others, and find
the best in us.
To agree without dissension, to dispense
with the fuss.
To see the treasure beneath, through the
turmoil above,
To recognize the terrible cost of hate,
and the magical healing of love.
And so from me to you, and those that you
cherish,
May your dreams be filled and never,
ever perish.
Have a wonderful season full of peace
and family,
And save some for the year to come…it
might come in handy.
