Come to Christmas with Clean Hands and Heart

December 18, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is Christmas, which is celebrated on December 25.

Today’s poem is a Christmas poem about making Christmas joyful both without and within.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Come to Christmas with clean hands and heart,

Having dressed appropriately within,

Ready happily to play your part

In making Christmas joyful yet again.

Sing the ancient melodies that bring

To life the season’s harmony and peace.

Maybe you’ll with friends and family sing,

As for one moment want and worry cease

So that your love for living might take wing.
