Lost Christmas


Lost Christmas

Why wait till Christmas time again is here?

Why spend those precious hours in hectic ways

Doing the things that you could do all year

And let the noise of whirl of festival days

Drown out the angel's song? Why not take time

To lift the eyes to candles in the sky;

To walk some silent night, while carols chime

And hear the hush of wings brush softly by?

Take time to mediate: to catch the spell

Of childish trust, that simple faith you knew

When love was everywhere, and all was well...

The gift you lost may now come back to you.

Seek not for Christmas in the busy mart

But cradled somewhere in a trusting heart.

  6. I just read your lipstick story - too funny! Your hubby was good.

    I put some on in the morning, it wears off very soon, and I forget to put any more on.
