THE HOPE AND THE HOW TO

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

winter time's light

Christmas smells

Oh, how I yet again

so long for your return

engagement

childhood revisited

year after beloved blessed

year

through the eyes of other children

just as wondrous as the child in me

once was

yet in many of the more important ways

ever the more glowing from inside

with the added spirit of Christmas wonder

thats Jesus you know

working his eternal magic

in as many souls as he can reach

uniquely and so very lovingly

one at a time

his magnificent wonder

is so very evident

man in turn

could never hope to love him too much

that's what Christmas truly is about

in a word

Love

love that we each aspire to

that is far greater than any love

we've ever imagined

Christ's spiritual blood flows

throughout every man whose ever lived

great and small

some too sadly enough though

never discover its path

in their own soul...............

(Dec. 20, 1998)
