Christmas Lights

To Jesus of Nazareth

In the frosty garden of the night the moonlight whitens rooftops, glittering silently with the silent Stars.

I am here with night thoughts listening to the cold motion of he night; listening to the city sleep, knowing down the road, here and there, on old Vancouver streets there are Christmas lights, because it’s Your birthday…

Christmas lights and children with a million Christmas dreams because tonight is Christmas eve, the little Saviour’s birth Night.

…the lovely fright’nd girl and her devoted man, the old wise Kings… the bleating sheep, the words he gave the world to keep:

Love ye One Another… let the little children come to me, be good neighbours… treasure friends… yes, there are Christmas lights glowing down the streets…

…Cathedral bells and city traffic, frosty breaths and winter jackets,Christmas parcels and tired feet, and windows lit with Christmas trees; Carol songs, that Christmas glow, maybe turkey and some mistletoe, a fire’s cheer, a glass of ‘nog and treasure of the hearts of home.

So many Santas when Christmastime comes all sharing their loves to make dreams come true, yeah all round the world a trillion hearts shine all giving something to somebody’s lives; So hang up the holly! sing out a tune, have a great Merry Christmas! it’s all up to you…
