So, don`t be the merry jokers prey
as he play`s his zany game of charades
upon this trickster`s holy day
never let the sunshine’s ray
turn into a dark light of shame
so, don`t be the merry jokers prey
his game don`t let the joker play
fools he will make of the sane
upon this trickster`s holy day
into the joker hand you will pay
as you play his merriment game
so, don`t be the merry jokers prey
just when you think everything is ok
is when he reveals his evil master plan
on this trickster`s holy day
he will frolic in the ridicule
while smiling his devilish grin
so, don`t be merry jokers prey
upon this trickster`s holy day

You were born on a Holy Day

You were born on a Holy Day
The 25th of December
And even though the babe is first
It doesn't diminish your Divine Splendour
For you are Special and Unique
You are Loved and you are Blessed
God sent you here to forge your Path
To inspire your Soul's Purpose through every Test
I know you find it difficult
I know you don't Believe
But that doesn't change the Truth
That Angels surround you in the Ethers
No matter how much you try to doubt
I'll Believe you'll eventually find your Way
That the Light will set your Spirit Free
And Guide you come what may
So as you approach your Special Day
I pray you make a Wish that's Hopeful
That the Miracle of Christmas will touch your Heart
And you'll feel its Gift in your Soul

I will pray
A day in the life
Written in strife

Alone yet that I am not alone
Oh! I am so chosen

So am I chosen I am worshiping
Him solely for pure thoughts as
I pray art often dismay I display
I am this day I worship worshiping
Him our worship I worship Him on this holy day

Getting ready for
Passover to shed us might
For joyous future
The significance
Of God’s holiday is way
More vital than us

This Day, Was A Holy Day
As Crystal Drops Came Down
A Beautiful Display
And Soothing Sound
Like An Echo of Joyous Children
Or A Drum-Roll Softly Nearing
Or Like Angels Were Cheering …
That’s What … It Was Like Hearing !
And It Poured Like A Pitcher
Cool, and Smooth and Clean
Slanting On My Window
Inspiring Me To Sing:

“ Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter
Today … Nothing Is The Matter
Plop, Plop, Splatter, Splatter
Inside, We’re All Together
Washing Away Every Tear
Rinsing Away, Every Fear
Refreshing Every Year …
… Raindrops, Touched Our Dears “
- - - - - - -
This Day, Water Came In Streams
But No Thunder or Lightning Screams
Just Innocent, Wistful, Wet Dreams
And Later, Rainbow Gleams
(And Waiting For Tonight’s Moonbeams) …
Today … Was A Holy Day
As Crystal Drops Came Down
A Beautiful Display
And Soothing Sound …

Holy Day of India
He was sent to this earth
To spread His mercy as love
He was tested in this earth
to show the power of truth
He was kept in prison
to remove the bondages of his mother
He gave his life with blood
to prove the power of Love
He came as a child and
Went from this land as a sage
He gave his weapons to us
to correct this world from it’s errors
It is the day of our great soul
To pray and to recollect His memories
