Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

New Beginning

Christmas yet a month away,
our five year old already
buttering-up the spirit -- 
just in case God don't 
hear it, he runs gifts by dad
and mom, is beginning to
sense a sleigh connection -- 

Of course, mom and dad
instead of great wealth,
pray for divine protection, 
a share of good health;  
                            
pray for world peace, that all 
awakened soul's continue to
seek ever higher enlightened
worth~ 

With Christ, a greater sense of kinship

humanity's precious rebirth....

Kim Rodrigues December 7, 2024 at 6:03 AM Kids and parents think differently. Wealth won’t buy protection, health, world peace, salvation. Nay, money, but prayers indeed… Joseph P. DiMino December 9, 2024 at 9:39 AM Thank you, Kim; prayer is gateway to heaven.

Valsa George December 6, 2024 at 9:01 PM While children look for gifts from their parents during Christmas, we should long for divine gifts from our Lord. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we too should aspire for a rebirth in spirit. Dear Joe, enjoyed your sublime Christmas message. Joseph P. DiMino December 9, 2024 at 9:40 AM Christ is our spiritual breath and salvation. Thank you, Valsa. In His Service. Blessings my friend.

Hilda Greenhough December 3, 2024 at 6:37 PM Poem related that Christmas has a deeper meaning. I like the serious Christmas message. Joseph P. DiMino December 4, 2024 at 11:10 AM Thank you, Hilda; Ila and I are by ourselves now, for the most part; all the little ones grown and flown the coop; so the holiday is by and far a religious experience.

Joe Maverick December 3, 2024 at 2:31 PM Much agreement Joe Dimino i pray for enlightenment; that more might know.' Joseph P. DiMino December 4, 2024 at 11:12 AM My daily prayer. Thank you, Joe.

Anne-Lise Andresen December 3, 2024 at 12:18 PM - Children have completely different expectations for Christmas than adults, gifts, traditions and the magic of Santa Claus ... enjoy this time ... time flies far too fast - hugs Joseph P. DiMino December 4, 2024 at 11:13 AM For sure; awaken them slowly, carefully...or they may become startled, feeling little more than shadows, frantic with light.

Paula Goldsmith December 3, 2024 at 10:53 AM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "New Beginning" write. Oh to be 5 again.
