Finding our Christmas
Light
The days have passed
in a blur
And now it’s
Christmas night
How strange it feels,
so serene
It’s an oddly
peaceful night
The days between have
not been pleasant
Madmen acted and
lives were lost
The earth has shaken,
storms raged
Peace has held but at
terrible cost
The struggle to keep
it Christmas
Has been brutal with
spirits this low
Sometimes it seemed
dancing on the edge
Ready to fall with a
careless blow
So I searched again
for that Christmas star
And I found it
tonight
High up in the dark
night sky
Oddly small and not
too bright
But it was constant,
ever constant
Nothing could cause
it to fade
It cannot be blocked,
it cannot be stopped
For eternity it had
been made
And I know now that
it will glow always
Hope shinning in the
night
Nothing on earth nor
in hell
Can ever block out
that light
So although there’s
no tree this year
And thus nothing
festive to light
It is Christmas still
And that Child’s our
eternal Christmas light
Merry Christmas
