Soft tangy smell of lost winter leaves Long discarded from the treetops high Smoke lilts on breast of December breeze Curls lazy to darken flush pink sky. Red sky at morning is sailors warn Laid bare by the north-east’s moaning winds A soft white snowdrop is gently born This birth represents our mortal sins. Jesus was born to us; Christ the child In stable cold that was meant for sheep To the Virgin Mary, a mother mild This Saviour Lord would our future keep. On this Christmas day give God our praise For sending down his beloved son Let us live in peace the coming days That we make this earth a better one. AMEN! Leslie de la Haye.

Amen, and Merry Christmas. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |
