Light of Wonder, Star of Love

Awe for the season of wonder has found me again! I am compelled to celebrate! Jesus, and the Wisdom of birth and rebirth In a moment of contemplation I turn my thoughts upward, and my never ending 'whys?' become for a time, a feeling of the heart,  a mothers smile and a babys cry.  And I remember....I remember why... ...it's the season ..... I recognize that still small wonder in the eyes around me,  that ever hopeful moment when the soul  yearns and pines for that Spirit birth and rebirth in its season. May this season bring you to that wonder!

Hello Ellen, This is a poetic verse that paints the true meaning of Christmas and rebirth of the spirit that lives in the heart of all who believe in Him. It is the season that soothes and it is a shame that we can't carry those feelings of wonder all through the year. A good poem that speaks a powerful message. Well done, cheyenne

This is beautiful & uplifting Ellen. Truly appropriate for this time of year. Many forget the real reason for the celebration, this would be an amazing Christmas card - I can see it set in print - opening up the eyes, and hearts for many during the Christmas season. Thank you so much for sharing, blessings, Deni

One thing the politically correct will never understand is the way in which a devout Christian can relate to even those outside any specific religion within their own beliefs. You do this here...and in the true spirit of Christmas. The example of Christ and his selfless life are a metaphor for all mankind to place against that of the powerful and unforgiving. No better time has ever been than now that such comparisons become crucial. It is in the process of rebirth that those otherwise without mercy might reconsider and observe that being tractable is not just a virtue but quite often a power. Even we agnostics can plainly see this if we look. Your poem is an enticement to do just that. JCH
