Notes About The Poem
Journey Journal Page…
Here’s wishing everyone, near or far — kin and kind and friends — known and unknown the joy, peace and love that Christmas and The Christ brings to all men of goodwill on these earthly shores.
May the Lord bless you, and keep you, and make His Face shine upon you, and give you peace of body-mind, heart and soul which is beyond understanding.

CHRISTMAS DAY 2023
By Leon Enriquez


Christmas Day thus grounds
Precious love most sound
A time for men here
To live epic cheer


Touch with touch sincere
Clear glimpse of good cheer
Christ the king of peace
Transforms our soul lease

~~~~~~~~~


Feel the pure magic
As soul feels mystic
Profound joy healing
Count then your blessings


Gather then with cheer
Watch goodwill draw near
Kin and kind and friends
Sharing love that trends

~~~~~~~~~


Spirits stay fond sighs
Pray to God on high
Jolly chimes abide
True love by your side


Love and faith and hope 
Sculpt true feel that scopes
A sparkling light streams
To greet our sweet dreams

~~~~~~~~~


The quest for true zest
As The Christ moves fest
Come from near or far
To meet love’s fine star


A holy light dawns
To fashion and spawn
A timeless message
In yarn and passage

~~~~~~~~~


By that light of grace
Greet your happy place
For love grips and hooks
Our certain outlook


Be in being fine
Love that yours and mine
Christmas chimes cast tell
Peace on earth to dwell

~~~~~~~~~


Cold misty moon light
Wondrous star shines bright
The Christ comes to show
The way that love grows


Time now to embrace
The touch of true grace
Good news heaven sends
Goodwill to all men

~~~~~~~~~


By these earthly shores
Love blooms evermore
Walk the middle way
Treasure night and day


So joy to the world
As the tale now swirls
Prize from end to start
God’s pure sacred heart

~~~~~~~~~
