Christmas Time

Christmas swings in as Santa does on his sleigh Unexpectedly even if we all were aware of his coming Christmas brings with it, its load of warmth Causing us all to bite our lips and hold back our tears Swallowing our regrets, breathing in and out our hopes Clenching in our fists, our frights, And finally letting go, of our vents, in the solitude of our dens! Christmas fades out as swiftly as seasons do Giving us never a signal that it had dropped by; As the season of good intentions, set to revive Memories of those moments we enjoyed Those we wish to erase Those people who have left us for the heavenly abodes Those other people who have hurt us And those whom we love, whom we cling on us As desperately as do narcotics to their drugs! Christmas comes around with an aim That of allowing us to enjoy some family time, A boost much needed to fill our hearts with enough energy As to survive the rest of the year! But Christmas weighs so heavily on our hearts Life remains so shaky Our tomorrows are not promised And our todays stand on unstable grounds! Pray, is it a happy time We do celebrate the coming of the son of the Lord But then, we do have to bear in mind That the Lord's son did come to suffer So, It becomes a stated fact that so shall we Whether it be at Christmas time or at any other time!
