God reigns in my winter wonder dream land
With His grace warming chilly December
Reverberating Earth's peace* as He's planned
Sounding triumphant joy of no slumber
Midst sparkling reunion's glowing ember
While each clan member gives special number.
There in my wonderland's territory
Saviour grants gifts always with blessed delight
Supplying needs by His bounty's glory
Gladly shared with generosity's light
Intensifying Christmas giving's height
To prevail in all seasons of love's might.
Words of cheer are heard in my land of hope
Along the Tropics devoid of snow
Where cold weather marks moments for care-cope
When well-being goes to its downward flow
And hospital-admission brings sorrow
With debilitating status-arrow.
In my Dad's intensive care unit nook
The Lord visits my wonderland health-brook.
*Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

For how long, have you won the fight
And how wrong, has your life been white
For no song, can bring down your height
Your moves gone, as you lose hope at night
I remember, when you left me to die
Mid December, when the kids were so high
I was an ember, of the movement to fly
You clan member, searching for the dark one to die
Now feel, my wrath as for you I do come
With steel, from the dark side of the dumb
Its not real, you scream sucking your thumb
As you kneel, beggin forgiveness of your slum
And now heed, as my sword enters deep
Your soul feeds, off my pain so discreet
As you bleed, your heart does skip a beat
For you plead, for your life to end with speed
I laugh, as you die now with ease
On behalf, of the ones who cant squeeze
I draw a graph, of your way down to the trees
With no staff, no help now as you freeze
