A Christmas Sonnet

If I could wish upon the Christmas Star
That shone on Bethlehem at Jesus' birth,
I'd join humanity in Peace on Earth
And scatter messages of Love afar.
If I could gather throngs of yuletide cheer,
I'd use them to adorn our world with mirth
As festive garland wrapped about her girth,
Embracing Love and Peace both far and near.

If I could add a gift to Santa's sleigh,
I'd circle all the world by Christmas Day;
Give those in need protection from the cold,
A warming Afghan tatted in the fold.
If I could give to all I would bequeath
One humankind within a Worldly Wreath.

Waft every crest upon your destined sea
Embrace the Wave of Serendipity
Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy
Refurl with sail for all eternity

Nan~ Thanks for re-posting this lovely sonnet. Enjoyed...Paul

If this world could be the way you write of
The way that God meant it to be for all
Each night in prayer we give thanks and recall
The gift of love sent to us from above

I've had this picture on my computer as wall paper for over a year. It's so touching.
