Jubilant Days
Can you, O Lord,
Dim the sun a bit
and brighten
the moon some?
Can you mix wine
in the seas a bit
and add to the winds
fragrance some?
Can you splash colors
on the grim clouds a bit
and add music
to the rainfall some?
Can you sling a swing
over the rainbow a bit
and toss confetti
with the snow some?
Then with jubilant joy
I’ll welcome my life ahead
and greet New Year
with smiles some.
Until, O Lord, you bid me joy
Allow one world we all can enjoy,
Love to savor and love to share
with those who have woe alone to bear,
Merriment wrapping each sorrowful face
In this one thing I but blame your grace,
None but me shall nurse the rancor
and pin the blame on thee with anger.
