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!
