This Christmas Morning
Yes
It’s Christmas
With family in mind
Our focus turns to the joy of
simple things of childhood memories
The beauty of the tree, piled high with a snow bank of presents
The excitement of a child guessing at what is hidden under the branches
Wrapping paper, tape and packages are torn open, our flushed faces enjoy the
Moment
That
We
Love
It’s Christmas
Morning and everyone has stirred
Breakfast is forgotten and morning routine
Has been forsaken, But around the world not everyone
enjoys the the news that we take for granted this peaceful
yet frantic scene. There’s talk of crime, wars and senseless death. But
we know that at least here
for a simple moment
the world
rolls to
a stop
for
It is Christmas morning.
