Christmas Magic

© 2015 by P Michael Biggs

There is much ado at Christmastime

We ooh and ah at the lights

We take in the sights

We cherish the friendlier moments

We pause to hear … and what do we hear?

A whisper, a prayer, a sigh, a plea,

“If I love you will you love me back?”

“If I trust you will you trust me back?”

And we wonder about the gifts we give

Are they enough?  Are they good enough?

Are they right – in color, size?

Did we get it right?

Did we remember everything?

We want connection

We want community

We want friendship

And we want love

We just disguise it in the wrappings

And trappings of Christmas

At Christmas we dare to stretch

We dare to reach out

More than at any other time

And if we connect

If we touch, well, 

That is the sparkle of Christmas magic

In all of its glory

Merry Christmas!
