Christmas Letter To God
Dear Lord,
Make this Christmas jolly and worthwhile
during this abnormal, trying time.
Make the world a safer and more
peaceful place and assuage anxieties
surrounding this enduring pandemic.
Keep all and sundry safe and sound,
especially little children; animals, too.
Just as a sculptor uses a variety of
modeling tools to create a masterpiece,
remold broken people so their souls sing again.
Notwithstanding all the illnesses and deaths
brought upon by Covid-19, bring tons
of laughter and joy this holiday season.
Free those beset with unforgiving demons
and grant them spiritual serenity.
This Christmas, dear heavenly father,
pull the hopeless out of the bottomless abyss
so they see your bright shining light. Ensure
that the hungry have enough food to eat.
Give antidote to those poisoned with hate
I thank you for giving warmth to those
left out in the cold, literally and figuratively.
I thank you for giving sanctuary to those
who have lost their way, or have no place
to call home. I thank you, merciful father.
