A Christmas Wish

December 25, 2009

If I could only have one wish

For this merry Christmas night

I couldn't pick a single one

That alone would justify

I'd wish for peace to come to all

And pain to melt away

But I'd also wish for love and truth

On this Christmas day

I'd wish for lively fun and joy

Ten thousand bells to ring

I'd wish for laughter to be heard

And the herald angels sing

But I'd also wish for quieter times

To reflect upon this day

For time to think on why we're here

For men to learn to pray

I'd wish that all could find the hope

That trusting in Him brings

Instead of worry, hate and fear

Instead of trusting things

And I'd wish that those we love could know

How much it means to me

To be together on this day

To be a family

And in a few more years to come

I'd wish that we could smile

When thinking back upon this day

And linger there awhile

If I could only have one wish

For this merry Christmas night

I couldn't pick a single one

That alone would justify...


Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
