Light In Darkness

 

 

​

 

​

​

In the twinkle of the Christmas lights

Against a still, dark, Christmas night 

 

There come those holiday emotions

Rolling like tides, on an ocean

 

I wish I could reach out and touch

The ones I love and miss so much

 

Or mend the long held dreams that break

Or a body or a heart that aches

 

Hope, joy, peace, and love

Come to help us rise above

 

In the stillness of the night

These are the things for which we fight

 

So much sadness so much pain

Yet so much good that still remains

 

When all around the world gives sway

These things never go away

 

How I wish the sadness gone

And yet I know with each new dawn

 

The seasons of earth will remain

And there will always be some pain

 

Instead may what is true and right

Pierce the darkness of the night

 

Give strength for mountains we must climb

Especially at Christmastime.

 

“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

 Matthew 28:20   (Words of the Christ of Christmas)
