Mild sun of winter
Spreads a love touch everywhere
Of happy Christmas
In the slum a child
Smiles in a red hibiscus
Petals of Jesus
Blankets offered to
Poor people standing in rows
Jesus in rainbow
In the hospital
Life smiles in bruise blood and pus
Footfalls of Jesus
Upon the sweet grass
Jesus smiles in drops of dew
Lovely Christmas hue
In Christmas flavour
To all poetry soupers
A merry Christmas
