THIS WEEK’S BFF # 78 INSPIRATION

“THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS”

***************

ON THIS NIGHT BEFORE

On this night before Christmas,
much the same as last year,
the house is all quiet,
not a sound can be heard;
it’s not quite the same
as when the children were here
and had dreams of sweet
sugarplums dancing about
listening for Santa
and his reindeer,
that unmistakable sound.
No rustling of gift wrap,
the midnight directions read
for putting together that
last minute toy.

But on this night before Christmas,
much the same as last year,
we remember the meaning
of this day that so often gets lost
amid the noise and the merriment,
and the lights on the tree.
We remember once more
the birth of a Child
in humble surroundings
under a star so bright.

And on this night before Christmas,
just the same as last year,
we pray for peace in this world,
the peace of this season,
and joyful hearts one and all.
