Christmas poem

There are a million bright lights illuminating the night sky,

as people shuffle through crowded streets into their crowded homes,

when will we realize that happiness is not in what we buy,

be it new T-Shirts, new TVs or new phones.

There are a million bright lights illuminating the night sky,

as people shuffle through crowded streets into their lonely homes,

There is no one there to sing „Angels We Have Heard on High“

As the cold spreads into their hearts and into their bones.

There are a million bright lights illuminating the night sky,

as the family gathers to sing those traditional songs,

and no one has heard the mother’s desperate cry,

after he hit and hit again to tell her where she belongs.

There was only one bright light illuminating the night sky,

leading both wise men and shepherds to a throne of hay,

what began there that night is the life that saved my life,

yes in that deep darkness dawned the brightest day.

There are a million bright lights illuminating the night sky,

as people shuffle through crowded streets into their crowded homes,

but there has never been a brighter light in any sky

the day that God himself on earth was born.
