Xmas Wish

Carols in churches of the city
People thronging fair grounds
Pullovers, jackets, sweaters adding
Color to the dresses beneath
People making merry withstanding
The winter chill and remembering
A baby born in Bethlehem
Centuries ago, in a cowshed
And the wise men of the world
Travelling miles to meet the
SAVIOR OF MANKIND
As trains roll to their destinies,
Luxury ships cruise, buses
Take holidayers to the resort
Of their choice and people
Take a break from the
Mundane daily existence
We wait for another
SAVIOR!
