christmas morn

in the twinkle of lights that may be stars,
in the murmur of voices that may be angels,
in the dark of night that heralds dawn,
in the silence of a heart that dares to dream,

are revealed

a faith that guides through unfamiliar paths,
a hope that strengthens in the depths of despair,
a love that bridges distance and differences,
a peace within that whispers, "wake!"

may you have the grace to realize that you are blessed.
