The Last Days of the Year

The last days of the year Are thick with emotions The birth of hope In the form of God's son Long ago in a manger For two thousand years it has been repeated And now again in modern forms Santa's sack is too small To grant the wishes of children Even if it were stitched With fabric from the whole horizon Pain fades In the midst of frail joys And we quickly forget our dreams With the return of continuous worries Soon holiday cards will be sold for half price And then reused again Next year
