wishing Christmas to be Merry
is like wanting water to be wet
or daylight to only show its face
before the sun decides to set

having days of holiness happy
is like begging the clown to smile
or asking your very best friend
to please go another mile

speaking the new year into joy
is like asking the blind to cover his eyes
or asking hatred to go away
if it must be cruel with aweful lies

having hope when all around do not
is like faith in early blooms
as seeds in early garden's rise
yield love in new-grown rooms

wishing Christmas to be Merry
is what the world does best
when it understands not the ways
to bring gladness to its fest

Yo Steavenr,

Sometimes Christmas is merry, and sometimes it isn't.  It's highly variable.

Bobby,
thanks for stopping by & commenting...I appreciate it...I heard a wise man recently say that there was no variance in true Christmas...he was eight...think I will look through his eyes for a while...kinda like that perspective
