Xmas Solace!
written by: Dr. Molly Joseph
O, my December!
how you arrive!
the cold nip in the air…
December! You waft in the feel of Xmas
our Lord Jesus descending from heavens to hug humans
poor humans, weather-beaten, distressed
looking up, pleading, in hope…
Yes, kindness falls…
with innocent radiance of the babe in a manger
Swaddled in the simple,
lying in straw strewn abode
smiling at the world…
Hah! December! Cool December!
bring us solace!
