Joys of a Christmas Past

On that Blessed Christmas morn, 
we watched with great delight one 
of nature’s finest shows,
Streets were being covered by the 
silent falling of pure fluffy snow,
Evergreen were decorated with strings 
of twinkling lights,
They shimmered like stars, illuminating 
the night.

Around the Christmas tree, the laughter 
of children full of excitement and joy,
Busy exchanging and opening gifts 
of sweets and Santa’s toys,
Family and Friends happily sat beside 
each other,
Sipping warm cocoa and homemade 
wine without a care or a bother.

And on the festive table, a humble feast
 was laid, a place and plate for all,
Of various foods that tradition calls,
Moments like these are treasures found,
In the company of loved ones, just being 
around.

Gathered by the fire carols, we softly 
sang,
Wrapping us in hope, they did bring,
Each note, a gentle reminder,
Binding us with warmth and love,
keeping us together.

And as the warmth from the hearth 
neared its end, a touch of sadness 
entered the heart,
So let’s cherish such moments, as 
Christmas Day will surely depart, 
And so in prayers, let’s whisper a 
multitude of thanks and seeds of 
wishes continue to sow,
For all around the world, peace and 
love, to spread and grow.
