And So This Is Christmas

And So This Is Christmas...

And yes
This is Christmas

Another year done
Another year older
And what have
You become

What were
The issues
The test tribulations
You overcome

Opening doors
To vacations
Or learning
And relations-

Working on patience
Of grace in higher
Places
Making open more spaces
For the good
To come in-

Was it in the heart
The deepest part
A mission
From the start

Were you helpful
And kind
Or having
A mind of your
Own

What distance
Were you thrown
Into unknown
Places
Leaving traces
Of what was
Not meant to be
For the you
To see
The true
‘Me’-

So what will it be
An investment
In thee
Setting the heart
Finally free
To do and see
Things that
Are meant for thee-

Or what shall it be

Another test to bring
Out the best of 3

Me
Myself
I

To self you’d
Rather die
Instead of
Questioning why-

Look up towards the sky
Remember why

As long as you’ve tried
There’s no sorrow or shame
Left to hide
Just an endless
Merry go ride
Set out in the hands
Of the ever moving
Tide

With grace on our side

So remember
It’s for free
Love and giving
From you to me

There’s those less
Fortunate

Look around and see

But in each one
A true blessing

Look and see-

If you only
Look for the heartache
And sorrow
As if there’s no tomorrow
You’ll never see
All the blessings sent
To change
To rearrange

It’s in the small gestures
The simple actions
And
Reactions
Of others that could
Be a whole new world
Waiting for you
And me

So look deeper
Look and see

So-
As we go from old to new
Let go of the
Sadness
If it lies within you
Look around and see
All the true blessings
That you’ve found
Place your feet
On solid ground
Hear the earth
It ‘speaks’
All around

Listen to the sound
Of your heartbeat

It’s a blessing lying deep-

See the troubles
That you thought
They might have broke you
But they taught
That through
The struggles
That you fought
Blessings disguised
For you to see-
That it’s caught up
In just one heartbeat

To give
To love
To share

As if there was nothing
Else
Anywhere

To share a smile
Touch a heart
Look deeper
Into the deepest part-

Don’t forget it’s in
The heart
That this life did start-

So yes-
This is Christmas
It’s all in the heart

Go back to the start

And remember
Your part....🌹
