Christmas!---Christmas!...Christmas!

Christmas-Eve!

(Merry Christmas! 2019)

 

White-fluff sifting gently-down

Rustic-stable chilly desert-town

On Jesus’-birth Salvation-found

 

Midnight–call beckons silver-star

Shepherd-boy travels from afar

 

No-room available to the-Innocent! at an-inn

Safe-harbor sought in a domestic-animal den

 

Cold-night invades-spirit of people-in-need

Innkeeper practiced Christian-generosity deed

 

O! Christmas-Eve! Idyllic-venue beautiful!-night

New-born scene: Babe! Mary! Joseph! Angel! Site!

 

On yon whisper-wind celestial-choir devotion-sing

Satiated holy-emotion comfort Seraphim & Cherubim

 

Sing-celebrate: “Joy! To the world!” “Peace-on-earth!”

Redemption!-Salvation! Christian-assured by Jesus’-birth

 

Hotelier offers shelter to a poor-family in desperate-need

His exemplar-generosity implants necessary Charity-seed

 

What!? Have (simple-humble)-I self-sacrificed to offer-aid?

What? Might I-do this day to comfort any who-prayed?

What? Did I demand for Christmas ill-mannered weighed?

What? Pernicious-hurtful silly-game might I have-played?

What? Obfuscated-Truth! Have-I a-purpose weak-delayed?

What? May me ’morrow-promise angelic-Good! display?

What? Value-Virtue sacred-debt I-owe any ever be-paid?

What? Grace! & Peace! Prevail should anger be-stayed?

What? Merry Christmas!-Joy! Offered-Love! Detailed?

 

I once encountered a cold and hungry vagrant in an early-morning

Colorado-blizzard; he reluctantly accepted my monetary-offering.

Upon humble-reflection, I could have done much-better by giving him

my new-jacket. His blanket was tattered and torn and terribly-thin!

 

Often, we do the-best we-can!? Jesus---chose to-do…it-all! Amen!

 

Merry Christmas!---Everyday!...I-pray thee…Love! & Peace!
