Eneh Akpan Writes: Still Christmas

Still Christmas

I still live in that silent night,

I still visualize the star as a guide,

I still smell the hay as a cattle shed comes alive,

I still picture you in your spot flashing a smile.

I dare to dream a dream.

I dare to wish upon that ancient star.

I fill my lungs and give a throaty squeal,

To wish you a million merry Christmas

For every single battle scar.

I still hear the herald angels sing;

I still have a dream your moment will come.

I still stand in awe of a Virgin-birth story

And I still believe you will rise like the sun.

So I dare to dream a dream.

I dare to wish upon that ancient star.

I fill my lungs and give a throaty squeal,

To wish you a million merry Christmas

For every single battle scar.

Akpan
