There’s a time when trees are bleeding,
To fill the space with something new.
Or with the birth from something seeding
blossoms, tapping into something true.
Darkness shimmers in the winter,
Lit by stars and crystal air.
A meaning carried front and center
When bells ring out so loud and clear.
A life, a gift from God to sinners
In a sense puts heaven near.
So like the carols sound arisen
Sung out with a shimmering light
For our selves and for our children
Merry Christmas all, Good Night!


Expressions of hope. We need them.
