It's Been a While
It has been a while since I have written,
I don't know why...just haven't been smitten.
But I was reading some things this bright sunny day,
And thought I should put a few words together this way.
No, nothing grand in the scheme of life,
Just some words to offer when faced with strife.
Remembering now how soon we'll see,
The lights, the glitter, the smell of the Christmas tree.
A happy time for children of all ages,
Most of them in youthful stages.
A time when love seems to run o'er the cup,
Especially for the two who sit by candlelight's sup.
But I have seen it in the Soup Kitchens as well,
Where the homeless and hungry come in to dwell.
Love on each plate of food passed on,
A kind word of cheer and a smile they can rely upon.
Oh, how the bright sun beams its rays,
To all below during these happy days.
All of this because in a stable low,
A child was born so long ago.
