Sighing Night
They deck the halls
And wistful sigh
So much has gobbled
Up the days
The shopping list
The cards sent out
So slippery in
The traffic’s maze.
They hear the songs
Of warm good will
And feeble prayers
For peace on earth
But down inside
They bungle still
The festive fount
That gives life worth.
The manger and
The wise men’s trek
Mere images
Within the blend
And shepherds heed
The angel songs
Of Glory come
In love for men.
Too tired now
To see Noel
As marvelous
And filled with Hope.
The Day flits by
The sparkle leaves
Through one more
Christ-less year
They grope.
Lord move with power
And shake their eyes
And hearts still cold
To Mercy’s Plan.
With revelation
Lift their weights
Enlighten to
Your Son born man.
