Author’s
Note
“Why can’t everyday be just like
Christmas?” Queried that infamous crooner gospel-king.
“But, it is. Indeed! Elvis! For those who
choose to live it true!” Proclaim-I!
Find some: Christmas Magic! I invite the
reader to create: Tradition: Faith! Family! Freedom!
Funny thing, how the “elite” erudite
sophisticates keep busy preaching to “We, the people…” that “they”, the
geniuses, are absolutely correct about all things while their promotions nearly
always turn out to be---Wrong! Pernicious, indeed, is the world’s coordinated
evil assault on religion, Christian values and worthy virtues; yet, not one
secularist ever refuses the goodness of the benefits of Christmas as they
struggle and search to secure any true meaning in their own lives. Purposeful-intent
for goodness concludes satiated-“Peace on earth!” Indeed!
Gather family in front of the fireplace
on Christmas Eve to enjoy a traditional tale. Add the experience to the
nostalgia of your own family heritage of comfort-warm holiday memories.
Santa Claus displays a Christian
attitude-of-generosity second only to our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, whose
life testament is the greatest “Love-story” ever told.
Rejoice! Brethren! Rejoice! Open wide
thy hungry eyes; drink deep the chalice of His love!
Salvation is at hand; redeem His gift;
embrace it, cherish it, live it.
Christ is born---and…lives!
Indeed! And, that truth is:
Christmas Magic!
IS:
Christmas Pleasures…
Enjoy! Each day’s life-treasures
Dare experience each adventure-event
God’s goodness daily-offered
Dawn-dew, sunshine-cheer, thunderstorm,
snowdrift-sculpt coiffured
“Magic” dances, verifying
existence in one first flutter-flake
Beautiful as an emerald-sea’s
white-foam receding-wake
Blanket-comfort pristine cover on
created nearly-perfect world
Fantasy-delight imagination-fires
every heart-young boy and girl
Stark surreal-subtle silver-shadows
blend in dark-light mirage play
Sky peach-blush-hue hints
portending enchanted fresh-fluff day
Chase dodging frozen-flakes upon
warm tongue to tingle-cold
Crackle-fire, chocolate-warm,
respite-offer---dare challenge-bold
Night-time, sweet love tight-hold
before toasty-golden solace-flame
Blizzard howls lamented-cold;
refuses any futile-effort to wild-tame
New Year calendar-itinerary evolves
natural into sweetheart’s-time
Mid-winter anachronistic-thaw
teases spring promise-flavored mime
Ice skates clatter, sleds rocket
smooth, Christmas-delivered treasures, these
Valentine hearts, Ides of March,
St. Patrick’s leprechaun-pleasures, please
Dawn seeks dusk extends
shadows-long in awesome greening sight
Yellow-bright dresses with
bunny-hops celebrate Easter-ham delight
Icy-freeze reluctant melts away; sun
rises warm; winter-dissolved
Spring-time “reigns”! April-“showers”!
Usher May “flowers”-evolved
Yellow-morels pop, birds’ nest,
Red-ear sunfish initiate annual lake-spawn
I know a verdant grove; one
hidden cove; glimpse a doe, fresh-spotted fawn
Silent salute! Reverent memory! Heart-tug
band! Old Glory! Proud-unfurled!
Honor all courageous
sacrificed-served; many times such redeemed-our-world
Diamond prepare, rake mound high,
chalk line straight; too late for momentum-stall
Red-seamed white-horsehide sails
in, bat-club cracks at umpire’s yell of-“Play ball!”
Kids frolic-swim in creek’s cool
hole; Robbins, Cardinals, Turtle Doves hatched
Wrens nest in porch-hanging
ferns; sore-muscled alfalfa workers rest, detached
Ancient Silver Maple
dappled-shade satiates like a cold-drink lemonade
Join child-delighted marching band,
flower-floats, Homecoming-parade
Fiery-tailed rockets explode
ebony-night sky: Red! White! Blue! Designed-it
One far reach to Christmas-delights;
yet, gold, indeed, is where thee may find it
Sophomore pretty-Junior athlete duet-croon National
Anthem solemn tribute
Citizen! Attention-stand proud, nation-courage
cannot one ever honest-refute
Any reason for a nation-worthy to party, celebrate
collective focused fair Labor
U.S.A. gonfalon proudly waves: Faith! Family!
Freedom! God’s honored favor!
Spy puff-cotton clouds traverse
blue sky; westward brews lightning-thunderstorm
Deluge drops pelt choppy-surfaced
lake; Flash! Crash! Echo! Wild summer-norm
First day of school arrives, too
soon, intent to sure quell pure free-fun
September clouds fluffy-white;
breathe deep of pleasure again begun
Red and gold, orange-yellow chase
leapfrog wind-tag in Mother’s-game
Promised coming seasons-imaged
every blessed year reflecting the same
Clean and oil fall-tradition
weapons; anticipate white-tail venison-play
Turkey, cranberries,
gravy-’taters, pumpkin-pie feast-Thanksgiving Day!
Anticipate soon-now unique
geometric frozen-flake surprise arrival-gift
Christmas Joy for each all year,
if adventure-event thee dare survival-sift
Spatter in: Happy Birthday!
Anniversary! An anytime tasty bar-b-que!
Celebrate His life-gift with
willing army or just a special-numbered few
Perhaps? The
“Independent-Individual” survived around an untruth “envelope”
Simple is! As Simple does!
Treasure-Pleasure! Happiness-lived! Full-scope!
“What others think of me,
concerns not I”---trumps vacant, fleeting…“celebrity”
Crystal-blue contact, a firm
handshake, true-bond respects purchased “integrity”
Those “Sacred”-secrets lifelong
sought? Right before thy self-obfuscated sight
Courageous challenge! Deny any
“boundary”! Live: Wish I may! Wish I might!
Then? Onward! Delight trek right
through to Christmas Eve special-celebration
Alas! Serendipity! Each day be
Christmas! Comes His hallowed-Revelation!
Amen!
Merry Christmas!
