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!
