Beata Agustin Poet Quatrain

Good Bye, Christmas Mourning

Never could Christmas mourning grip my heart
Since Christ in His birth* sealed me by His love
Granting me eternal life thru faith-start
With blessings and peace from heaven above.

Christmas mourning has been vanquished by God
When He filled with grace my futility
That was caused by materialism’s nod
Of discontentment-greed’s tenacity.

I’ll do my part to shut Christmas mourning
By spreading the Lord’s mercy everyday
Conscious that sharing is pain-lessening
And caring cheers others along hope’s ray.

Today, I bid Christmas mourning good bye
Greeting each one by the Saviour’s goodness 
I’ll give gifts, devoid of selfishness’ sigh
Triumphing in His mighty joyfulness.

*Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Curtis Moorman December 4, 2018 at 2:17 AM Beata, I noticed that neither of our poems were selected as winners in this contest. could it have been that the mourning we each expressed made mention of the real reason for the season? I pray not! Beata Agustin December 4, 2018 at 2:25 AM I believe that the The Lord Jesus Christ is the reason for the season; and I praise and thank Him that HE is the very reason why our Christmas is devoid of mourning. God bless you.
