On This Most Precious of Holidays
As I listen to Christmas Carols

on this cold crisp Winters night,

my problems seem unimportant

when in this holy light.

The beautiful Christmas Season

takes me back a bit.

Back to childhood,

to a tree with not much under it.

It really did not matter.

Our lives were very plain.

There was the deepest pleasure

from even a candy cane.

The tinsel on the tree,

the glitter caught my eye.

The simple beauty of it,

makes me silently cry.

The beauty and the splendor

of childhood Christmas Days,

I wish for the whole wide world

on this most precious of Holidays!
