Year to Come


The year’s end brings the beginning
Of a past that was and is to become
Behind the tears and anger of yesterday
To which we now smile and rejoice gratefully
Of a love that sacrificed to us
The meaning of faith, forgiveness and hope
Once so long ago forgotten in sin and shame
But now strengthened over the years with celebration
Woven from the hands of ancestors and wisdom
A quilt made of promises and a kiss from God
Blessing this time we have come together
Giving honor to Him that loves us the most
So that in time each will meet the Maker
With a promise we will all greet each other again
And remember this time shared with laughter and smiles
On Christmas day and the year to come……..


Marcel

Dear Marcel,

Thank you for reminding us of the true meaning of Christmas. Your words ring out as clear and true as bells on Christmas morn.

Merry Christmas

To thy own self be true
