Christmas Hope
I was sitting and thinking how love would be nice
considering this world cold and callous as ice.
Then quite suddenly out of the crystal blue air
came a feeling of warmth as if someone did care.
Someplace down in my heart burned a fire to believe
ignited by embers fueled on joy Christmas Eve.
Beyond all of the doubts folks hold on to their hope
and the promise of Christmas just brightens the scope.
There once was a holy child born in a manger,
who came to a world full of hurt, harm and danger.
As a man he taught us to love one another.
Each one is important. Each one is your brother.
This love is the reason for the season today
not material things and diamonds on display.
Joy and happiness are contagious from their start.
So, let’s try to keep fondness and peace in our hearts.
