Christmas 2012

Expressed in my letter, Dear Santa a seed,
Is something so special, that we all deeply need.
A world that looks brightly, with eyes from their heart,
And gives peace a chance, and let human rights start.

Please Santa just listen, as you make all your rounds,
It’s not just the children, where gift should abound.
The people on earth, need understanding and love,
Can you load on your sleigh, and send from above.

Spread it out thickly, so it will stay through next year,
Stop all the strive, masked in our terror and fear.
Just grant us one wish, our dream one perfect gift,
Wrap it with ribbons to give us a lift.

So read my Christmas letter, one wish only this year,
Give us a memorable Christmas with something to cheer.
If the world can look brightly, with eyes from their heart,
And give peace a chance, and let human rights start.

O Blessed Friend

O STATELY BEAUTY ERE YOUR GRANDEUR FLORA FLOW,
SO BLEST OUR EYE.
BE SOWN THE ESSENCE SEEDS OF THIS OUR LIFES REBIRTH,
SOFTLY HOLD OUR HEARTS.
BENDED TENDERED ARMS, WHISPERED TONES REVEALED,
SPOKEN TO OUR EAR.
WITH MIGHT IN STORM INDUCE YOUR RAGE TRANSCENDS,
THE FLIGHT OUR HUMAN FRAILITY.
TREMBLED COVERED BOUGHS HELD IN SPIRED GREENERY,
POWERLESS BE OUR FEARS.
NUTURING LEAVES ABOUND AMIDST A TROUBLED WORLD,
EMBODIED IN OUR ARMS.
HOMES KIND FOR CREATURES SERENE, TRANQUIL REALMS,
A WARM PLACE FOR OUR DREAMS.
O LEST WE TAKE FOR GRANTED SO NOBLE, MIGHTY FRIEND,
INSTILL IN US OUR PRIDE.
MAINTAIN A PLACE, LAY DOWN YOUR SEESDS APLENTY,
GIVE YET TO US OUR BREATH.
HELP THUS A WORLD OF WOE IN WHICH WE’VE FALTERED,
AND CLEAN OUR SOUL.
STAND ERECT TO FIGHT THE DEEDS OF HUMBLE SERVANTS,
SEEP O ESSENCE FINE AND HOLD FOR US,
OLD FRIEND WITH BARK AND RINGS OF LIFE SURROUND,
GIVE US OUR JOY.
YOUR MAJESTIC LOFT SPREAD YOUR ETERNAL ARMS,
WE SPEAK WITH OUR LOVE.
BE PATIENCE WITH US, TEND FOR US OUR ATMOSPHERE,
O THUS OUR BLESSED FRIEND.
