A Christmas Song I Cannot Sing

 

A Christmas Song I Cannot Sing 

 There's a Christmas song I cannot sing

since words will not express.

There is a peace I cannot fight

in spite of life's duress.

There is a story not fully told.

It has no ending, 

but in that tale from history 

love transcending,

sent one dark man to this strange earth

 to make a pact with us, they say.

From dust, a human star was born,

a light to show the way. 

                              I trust this man born long ago, 

most likely in the spring.

He is why we hear the bells

at Christmas time still ring.

And he is why there is a song

I have no words to sing.

Have a warm and wonderful Christmas! Peace. Love, Linda
