Merry Christmas To All, and To All a Good-Night!

A very Merry Christmas to everyone.
Have a beautiful New Year.

As this year comes to a close, I can't help but smile.
Something, obviously, went right.

Distant In the Night

Your light, like a star, distant in the night -
And I, I see it still burn bright.
Dust and dirt can only disguise
That which lies inside.
Capture the rain on your tongue,
Twist your mind around,
Someone must believe in you,
And it is only me.

My light, like a star, distant in the night,
And I, I am blind to its light.
Dust and dirt can truly disguise,
The miracle inside.
Capture the snow on my tongue,
Twist my mind around,
I believe in you,
But I cannot in me.

POEM

Have you forgotten how to love and how to care?
Hatred waves on the chill air;
Instead of bringing love and faith,
A season of "joy" brings more wrath.

Light a candle, though it be small;
Bring your heart to life, and call,
A lion's roar and eagle's scream,
Listen!  You'll hear it - "dream".

For there's a little bit in all of us,
Where we need not judge,
Just love - give out what's inside:
I know it hasn't died.

So in this season of December,
Holidays, and winter weather,
Do not forget how to love,
For that is the greatest gift from above.
