I wrote this for two wonderful poets on soup, who just had a beautiful baby on Christmas Eve! I cant help but think what a wonderful time to celebrate a birth, and even the poem holds some melancholy, is because what a joy it is for all people, when a new child is born, it brings joy, and reminds of us the purpose of life. The older we get the more precious we see life and when I saw this wonderful photo of James, I could feel the emotions and love. James and Olive, you have the very best of Christmas gifts, Merry Christmas both of you!!!

Christmas bells ring that time of year even lonely I feel good will and cheer Festive lights around the house at home this Christmas eve should we not celebrate Lovers past and friends long gone? Carols sung, and church bells ring is that wondrous time of year however I have secret information's that will bring you all great cheer! There was born this night a babe in my homeland Scotland of the brave battles now only glorious history for peace my friends bring to you They have a child, beauty so pure sleeping in daddies arms remember this day, I beg you all peace on earth this child shall bring Some, not many days to sing Nor many hopes for spring I ask you all, remember this glorious day Two poets pure made an angel ever sweet From baby seeds to gods bouquet and this my friends is the true meaning of all other Christmas's past loving our children so young and pure so that all of humanity lasts
