The Gift

For all the kids young and old
a blanket of  white white snow

winters prettiest of days
earth our house cleaned that way

pure was made the land
covered the wickedness of man

living water had a plan
clean the cities and the land

on inspection spiffy clean
sin and wickedness went unseen

oh how wonderful
the christmas scene

peace on  earth
thats the theme

Nice to read this cool poem in the middle of a heat wave. I think peace on earth is just a dream though; there's a few that have the resources to kill that dream. Hope all is well with you! :)

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could be cleansed as you say; I have a feeling that the millenium will produce this kind of result.
