A iight in the distance is sometimes all we have, but it may be all we need.


Emmanuel

 
Christmas is Christ time.
God is with us.
Emmanuel.
 
That the Spirit is here
To guide and to help
Is clear to me and to you.
 
Since this is so, let us not be troubled.
Nor be anxious, nor be fretful.
Ever.
 
Let go of worry. Have Christmas Tea.
Remember that God is with us.
Gloria.
 
Gloria.
Hallelujah.
And Hallelujah again.

This is the last Christmas poem that I will offer this year.  I thought that the last Christmas poem ought to get right to the point.  

I hope that you find your message somewhere this Christmas, maybe in a poem, a song, or through a friend.  Best wishes for a blessed holiday season and a peaceful 2016. 


Watch for the new edition of
                             Musings With a Cuppa-The Poetry of Tea                      
                                                                                             coming spring 2016 ! 

But first, watch for postings of new poetry starting next week !

Winter can be a resting time if you need it.


And I Will Blanket You
 
 
It is winter and time for hibernation.
Turn your back to the wind.
Lean low and feel the
Earth cooling,
Resting from delivery.
Another year will come and her
Returning warmth will waken us.
But right now, let us bide,
Lie down and slumber at her side.

Bonus time!   Two poems for the holiday.   Enjoy the winter if you can.  If not, try to keep your spirits up as the temperature goes down.   We here in Oregon of the United States have had the wettest December on record.   It is time for us to stay inside.

                                                                                  ☔︎

✦ All of my best wishes for our dedicated readers.  May the holiday season bring happiness and maybe even the beginnings of a peaceful world.  skp
