A Christmas Soliloquy
written by: Lauren Scott
The noble fir smells heavenly
Pervading throughout the room
Lights twinkle in red and green
Adding to its festive costume
Stockings embellish the mantel
Eager to be filled with treats
Garland graces letters in gold
Spelling out P.E.A.C.E.
Dangling to model icicles,
White lights sparkle on eaves
Ornaments shimmer on branches
All this, the stuff of dreams
But can dreams still come true
After this year, so displeasing?
Amidst the tears and heartache,
Is there room for believing?
I have faith that joy weaves
Its way through the pain
Angels keep watch while Love
Is the magic that remains
I don’t know your story
The details are yours alone
But I do wish you Happiness
That you may seize and truly own…
As we listen to the marching rhythm
Of the exultant Christmas drum
For these holidays upon us
And for the New Year to come.
