YOUR CHRISTMAS SEASON

“Your Christmas Season” It’s another Christmas Season And I wonder what’s in people’s hearts I see people rushing everywhere They’re moving in such a hurry I wonder if they remember what Christmas is all about Perhaps, it could even be tearing them apart But this poem is not to admonish anyone It’s merely to help me to regain my perspective To see my responsibilities, and also enjoy the fun I’m so thankful There’s so much fun in just being alive On Christmas day I’m not trying to accomplish anything I’m not trying to strive I’m not living in the world’s competition I’m just relaxing and enjoying myself I’m surrounding myself with family and friends And if I receive their presence My Christmas will be beyond description Sometimes I wonder if we haven’t lost the meaning of Christmas Are we only concerned with our number of presents Or if the present we got cost as much as what we spent Maybe, we’re comparing our decorations to that of our neighbor Is our Christmas wreath as pretty as the one next door What you do and believe is what’s at the core Of the Christmas season In my Christmas, I want a blend Of loving and sharing with my Family and friends And for the one’s who are far away The greetings we receive and the greeting we send A nice glass of red wine And a home-cooked meal The opportunity to sit down and dine And relax once more What do you want in your Christmas season Whatever it is I hope it is in the true spirit of Christmas And I hope it comes your way 12/14/1980 Robert P.
