True Meaning of Christmas' Spirit

On my way to church The spirit of Christmas I met the other night, All excited it was as the day of Jesus' birth is coming. In awe, I approached it and hesitantly I asked: " Could you, sacred spirit, tell me what the real meaning of Christmas is? " The spirit looked at me, at first, rather with surprise, for I appeared a man of faith Yet Didn't seem to know what was I celebrating, However, With a compassionate smile and in a very Calm voice, willingly, it explained: " The real meaning of Christmas, my dear man, Is the rebirth of love in people's hearts. A rebirth that aims to reestablish The relationship among the people themselves first, and then To reinforce their connection with the divine, as the Lord Meant it to be- pure and holy! In that way The love and peace of heavens Would be enshrined in the heart of every man and Make people love one another, fact That would allow compassion to reign upon the earth and Bring peace to humanity. Only then the birth of Jesus would make sense And take its real meaning which could cause The angels with joy sing -peace on earth and Alleluia! " Thus The spirit of Christmas spoke and gently flew away, Leaving me pondering on the amount of work humanity has to do Before achieving peace in people's hearts and on earth, one Blessed day! © Demetrios Trifiatis 23 December 2020
