I Wish You

Courtesy: merrychristmas.quotems.com

I wish you joy that comes with the season,

I wish you goodness that fills your reminisces,

I wish you smiles that light the candles bright,

I wish you strength that comes from the Christ-Child,

I wish you beauty, grace that lasts the year long,

I wish you the vigor of youth your whole life long,

I wish you hope that never dies but multiplies,

I wish you the small things that stir the flame in your eyes.

I wish you a home full of Christmases,

I wish you love that came down from excelsis,

I wish you tools so foolproof you’ll have ecstasies,

I wish you surplus of the bare necessities,

I wish you simplicity first witnessed in a manger,

I wish you the blessings that addeth no sorrow,

I wish you peace that truss the silence of the stars,

I wish you above all, forever hands to hold.

Silent Stars

Silent stars,

Witnesses to the miracle in the manger.

How I wonder what you are.

There remains an unmatched brilliance

In your spark every night you shine surreal,

I have this feeling that’s a testimonial

I sense ancient eyes crawl all over me

Like a million insects, eyes that did see

The coming of the Christ-Child and testified

To wise men from a faraway land summoning

Keepers of sheep who in the field did abide.

Silent stars,

Your message still rings true in the dark.

The ever shining light will guide us,

Like the everlasting father he’ll shield us,

And find us again when we wander lost.
