"...Christmas comes again..."



Christmas comes again 


The sun shines brightly through the windows, once again 

“The morning light is about to break upon us”1

The Christmas wreaths chatter on the windows and panes, red ribbons, dancing in the wind 

Naturally, memories ebb and flow through my mind 

like gentle waves, the family summer beach times,

The water, like lifetimes, taking some sand and shells along with recollections, cherished souvenirs back to the vast ocean 




The Christmas story refreshes my mind 

Walking, I see the starlings and hear singing in the trees against the blue, blue sky 

Stories, Hope in this season of change- 

Love with everything you have my sweet lives

“May your hearts beat strong forever”2

Future generations, generations to come

Marvelous and beautiful designs, my inheritance




“The clouds may go and come, and storms may sweep my sky”3

But Christmas comes again so I will look up to see 

The Bethlehem Star, the Light to my darkest places

Our Savior is born, our Hope, Living gift, 

Our whole world now rests on His shoulders, the Prince of peace,

The Lamb worthy to open the scroll, 

Shining light, center of the evergreen wreath with a crimson bow

Life- pressing, brief, yet beautiful as Christmas surely comes again.
