A Simple Winter Wish

A winter wish is like a kiss upon a virgin cheek it softly woos with words like jewels that brightly shine and speak and all around its song resounds in notes of pure delight its message rings and slowly brings a weary heart to flight. What are these words, such blessed words, that underscore the season? From long lost times, an ancient sign, that went beyond all reason? A Light came down, bowed to the ground, a quiet hush, a swoon as lowly shepherds heard the news, angels sang their sacred tunes. A little Child was born, of humble estate, into a lowly manger was sent forth from the heart of God, to save mankind from danger. Oh, Savior mine, for all humankind, Christ freed us from our sins the truest Love, given from above, new life is found in Him. And so, my friend, my winter wish is truly, simply this that you would know the love of God and live in everlasting bliss. Written on 12/11/2021
