Dear Jesus you are the light of the world.
Let all the decorations be unfurled.
This is the true meaning of the Christmas season,
You and only you are the true infinite reason.
Man may become consumed by the commercial trapping
Presents, and all the brightly colored wrappings.
These manmade incidentals that are chancy at best.
Worth nothing when gone is the childlike zest.
It is to bad the spirit of peace and love tends not to last.
All to often it disappears once the season is past.
Usually people revert to habits of old behavior
Forgetting, that they just celebrated the birth of our Savior.
Let us resolve this year of the Lord, to remember.
The joys and attitudes that we shared this December.
May this conduct continue through out the coming year?
Let the coming days be full of good cheer.
Then perhaps it would seem that everyday
Was as momentous as Christ’s birthday
Nations would extend a helping hand in peace
The horrors of war would then cease.
This is my solemn wish and earnest prayer
Not just for one day but the coming new year
