Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

A Simple Winter Wish

A winter wish is like a kiss upon a virgin cheek
it softly woos with words like jewels that brightly shine and speak
and all around its song resounds in notes of pure delight 
its message rings and slowly brings a weary heart to flight. 

What are these words, such blessed words, that underscore the season? 
From long lost times, an ancient sign, that went beyond all reason? 
A Light came down, bowed to the ground, a quiet hush, a swoon
as lowly shepherds heard the news, angels sang their sacred tunes. 

A Child was born, of humble means, into a lowly manger
was sent forth from the heart of God, to save mankind from danger. 

Oh, Savior mine, for all humankind, Christ freed us from our sins
the truest Love, given from above, new life is found in Him.
And so, my friend, my winter wish is truly, simply this
that you would know the love of God and live in everlasting bliss.
