Christmas Morning

 

Christmas morning quiet and slow

The clock ticks softly on the mantel

Santa’s work in stockings hang just below

 

In this hour of quiet solitude of thought

About meanings of His promised peace

So more important than gifts we bought

 

In a world of turmoil, strife and pain

He was born to bring us joy and peace

It’s time we seek His miracle once again

 

Be like children in heart, faith and yearn

He taught with a smile not so long ago

See in children’s smiles today and let us learn

 

I hope to be like a child and see

A world with faith in message of peace

And know how beautiful this world can be
