This was a year of tempest
as Mother Nature made a path
directing our attention to
a worldwide destructive wrath

The pain of loss, where is the ease?
How much more sorrow can we bear
where is the end, God’s surcease,
How long do we bend in prayer?

We saw the worst of humanity
but we also saw the best
the heroes and the villains
all that life possessed

It would be easy to wallow
in self pity and defeat
seeing only the dark side
being mired in retreat

But it is this exact hour
we find that which we desire
An answer to life’s questions
from a power much higher

The gift of a child born
giving hope to humanity
A small flicker of innocence
to calm the winds of insanity

Oh, lady... this touches me deeply.

Now isn't that the truth? A very Merry Christmas to you too and to your entire family Sharon. Sending a healing hug down to you all with this Christmas wish.

Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.

"The gift of a child born
giving hope to humanity"

Oh, absolutely! Through all the trials and tribulations the birth of a child is the hope of humanity.
Thank you for this lovely poem! May you and yours have a good festive season.
