Signs of Christmas
An Artisan’s ornament with crystal beads,
Tops off the tree, a lucky deed.
Apprentices stay awake, forgo greed,
The nativity story aloud they read.
Innovators follow red-nosed Rudolph’s lead,
Delivering surprises in swift speed.
Peacemakers honor cease-fire decreed,
Motivated by Christ’s loving creed.
Christians pray for those lost and in need.
Each hungry orphan they feed.
Around the corner, Christmas carols
implant a euphoric seed.
Let no ugly pretense mislead,
Or defiant notion impede.
At Christmastime may hidden
Kind-heartedness be freed!
