Abundant Love

Tinseled hearts and alabaster dreams on silk pillows of yesterday 
the scent of mother's hair and the vapors of a sweet cigarette.  
An angel streams inside my memory like a ribbon of silver and gold,  
reminding me that with every Christmas, there is hope, Hope...
Beneath the effervescent lights of the season,  
Christ's spangled love is always present for those who believe.    
Though the winds of change have come to enchant us these days, 
with new fireside stories, its truly the fables of yesterday that hold 
the truest.  Like the ones mom and dad told us when we were just babes.
In a stable far away a Holy Child was born, wrapped in a gauzy light.  
This child of Grace with His miraculous ways entered this world 
many years ago.  He gives us access to His father through His abundant 
love for us, He is a symbolism of all that is true and good in our hearts.

This poem did wrap its glittering ribbons around my heart, enfolding me with memories of my own mom to thoughts of Mary and the precious infant son of man, son of God, blessed gift for us all… I can only say Thank you for this poem. I am deeply moved.

Christmas is all about love and hope; such a pity that materialism, commercialism and loss of values are continually rearing their head. ~ Warm regards /x/ paul
