2019 The Brightest Light

by Badger_29


"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light" Aristotle
 
Christmas Time has arrived again
 closing my eyes, I remember when
We used to go caroling door-to-door-
they would always ask for more!
 
My father played his gifted guitar
 I looked up to see a shining star
My brothers and I sang of  truth
with the exuberance of youth
 
Singing loudest was Bruce of nine,
clear young voice sharply defined
Shawn was seven and I had five years
Harmonious lessons; I learned to hear
 
Dressed alike in choral attire
made us a crisp, captivating choir
The line of our heads a pleasing slope
vocalizing of cheer, love and hope

To my heart this introduced and instilled
a wondrous desire to shape and fulfill
One of my life's many valued tasks
warmth of spreading cheer, I bask
 
As we sang with joy on our faces
reflections of the many graces
Bestowed on all this holiday season,
a gentle reminder of the real reason
 
That we celebrate the Royal birth-
One that fills our hearts with mirth
Ask, and ye shall surely receive,
if you would but choose to believe
 
If you are a friendly neighbor,
with others you will find favor-
For we must respect all beliefs
If with them we are to find relief
 
Give unto all with a cheerful heart
and many blessings, He will impart
Look, the snowflakes softly falling-
close your eyes, The Spirit calling
 
Celebrate the birth of The Boy
that came to fill our hearts with joy
He said "I come not to condemn,
but to give abundant life", to them
 
Who receive the greatest gift,
that clearly closed and sealed the rift
Between mankind and eternity,
que sera, sera; what will be, will be
 
If you are one, heed the calling
and be careful to not be falling
For one of lifes many deceptions,
so many contradictory misconceptions
 
Be simple, with old-school integrity,
and with your environment, be
Harmonious, helpful and kind
and we will be of a similar mind
 
Be truly grateful for this time,
as you read my restorative rhyme-
Do that which is noble, just and right
so that all may embrace 
The Brightest Light
