Christmas was less than two weeks ago, yet so much can happen in such a short time that it may be easy to forget how we felt as we focused our attention on the birth of the Savior. I hope that we will continue to celebrate His birth and life and love, and that the Spirit of Christmas will remain with us throughout this new year. Here is one of my poems that expresses this idea.
Circling Christmas
across January snows
and faith, courageous
as the Star of Bethlehem,
brighten February nights.
May small miracles melt March
into spring, April angels point
the way to God’s glory, and His
tender mercies keep you in May.
Let kindness gentle your June.
May July be jubilant in liberty,
and August abundant in peace.
Give unto the least
your September service.
Offer friendship, freely as
October trees release their leaves,
and number among November
blessings the imminent coming
of God’s Son. Decembering
the year, close the circle.
Then come, more devoted than
before, to worship at the manger.
