Ten Wishes #1

It is now Christmas Eve
And if you truly believe
Santa will soon drop by
With a bottle of Aleve

After all the preparation
Oh, this pounding sensation
Your head needs a vacation
In an undisclosed location

But I digrees as I always do
Wish 1 is short, sweet, and new
It is for Faith and Value
The real, true virtue

Not than CNN sh*t
Prefix to "Correspondent"
That is a faux pas bit
This is real I submit

May your faith always be
What allows you to see
The true meaning of Christmas
Let the truth set you free

You don't need wrapped presents
Or other accoutrements
To tell you that Christmas
Is a Baby, Heaven-sent

See, Heaven doesn't need us
To make such a big fuss
We've received the best gift -
Born so poor yet noblesse

Christmas is one big irony
Full of dichotomy
Born in sanctimony

A poor King with no money

He didn't even have

His own crib in a nave

He was born with no slave

Just a map to His grave

I shudder when I think
Of the marvelous gift
How unworthy I am
To deserve such a lift

In the end it is faith
Values too that await
Those who feel so inane...
God is good, God is GREAT!




Merry Christmas, Delia, wherever you are...
