On Becoming Enlightened

As Christmas draws near I contemplate my faith. Jesus spent many years away, yet no one knows For sure why, or where, or how, but destiny's lure. When he happened upon meeting the teachers Who would guide his steps with the knowledge Needed in guiding ours, he was anointed with Sacred oils and the perfect time for his return To teach the yearning masses was revealed. He taught in parables to be better understood So that even the youngest children could grasp The lesson, and so his words would be spread By many as he knew his earth time was short. Even the least of non-believers lives by these Teachings, though they may never realize it. Simple truths, compassion for others, kindness To animals, love’s consideration for humanity, Helping the helpless in reaching out to strangers. These have been manifested inside our DNA To help the broken souls who need help most. Faith instills courage, yields strength, and endows Peace that helps to conquer the greatest of fears. It is among one of the most blessed gifts taught, Along with forgiveness, to be honored and revered. As this winter season has been chosen to honor His blessed birth, I also deign to honor his teachers. If you visualize their light in others of all races, creeds, And faiths, you are on the true path of enlightenment. "Blessed birth and destined death are both divine."
