This Day, This Christmas Day

Bake the turkey or the ham
 get out the special cookie stand
 roast a duck or Christmas goose
 soon enough the children will bust loose;
packages wrapped so carefully
 set out on Christmas Eve beneath the tree
 will be open earlier than the morning comes
 as the glowing faces display happiness and fun;
this day, this Christmas day quickly progresses
 dress up in your best suit and dresses
 gather in the holy glow of angelic song
 and remember Christmas treasures here and gone;
family and friends sharing hope and memories told
 that refresh our spirits in harmonic stories of old
 of all promises God gave us on this day to celebrate
 the blessings and the chance to live in faith.

Beautifully said in this wonderful verse, D M! Brings the Christmas Spirit closer to my heart. Many thanks for your kind comment re the Justice Is Blind verse. I served for about 10 years as a Bailiff here in Colorado after retiring from the AF and at that time there were actually 2 blind judges. The very best to you and your family this Christmas Season - Bob
