The Season of Christmas

by Jeanne Fiedler
(Washington Twp., NJ 07676)

Christmas brings us
back to peace on earth
into the wonder and magic
in a child's eyes
We connect to our loved
ones redeemed and revived
The birth of Jesus
is the flame in our hearts,
the spirit of love,and of
joy and of hope, the
wishes of a better year, or
the gratitude of what
we have had,the beauty of
Christ's spirit living within
our hearts and our souls
We share these gifts with
each other every year
and for those who are
suffering, sorrowful, poor,
sick or homeless, we
pray for these beings and
give in ways we can
The Jews, Muslims, Hindus,
Buddhists, Native Americans,
Humanists and more
We all celebrate together

Pray for the war to end
and the world to be
restored
Let the white snowflakes
soften our beauty within
and without and everywhere

See the planet overflowing
with love and light, and the
gift of an eternal world
beyond us where we live in
bliss forever...
