HOPEby Hannah Watt Hope is an light, illuminating the darkness, With newly retrieved faith. Hope is a reminder that despite the darkness, Once clouding above me, I can still dance. Hope is knowing that the sun will rise, At the end of the night. Hope is remembering, That even if the storm never ceases, Joy is never far from my grasp. Hope is having faith, And trusting, In something better than the gloom. FRIENDS, LET'S BELIEVE IN THIS HOPE. CHRIST OUR HOPE. TRUST. HAVE HOPE.CHRISTMAS IS HEREby Hannah Watt Lights illuminate the dark winter night; Flurries tumble from the sky, Coating green grass with a blanket of snow. An axe cuts through the base of an evergreen tree, One which will be adorned in ornaments and lights, tinsel and ribbon; But atop the tree will rest a star, One which once declared the birth of a wee baby in a manger; Hope restored to the world. A sense of joy fills the air, Alongside delicacies from the scullery; Gifts from loved ones cloak the base of the Christmas tree, As children delight at the sight of brown packages tied up with strings; Throughout town, anticipation fills the air; People laughing in joy, With a little leap in their step, Excited for The Day to finally arrive. In awe, surrounded by candles flickering in the windows, Church bells chiming in the distance, Snow lying on the bare branches, I glance at the nativity scene. Sitting next to garland and wrapping paper, I am reminded of Christ’s humble coming to Earth; To wipe away every tear, Bind every wound, And restore life and hope to a broken world. The Advent calendar finally comes to a final two days, More cheers of, “Merry Christmas” from an Ol’ Saint Nick swamp the streets, Little ones leap in excitement, Because Christmas is finally here. Christmas so changes our society in the few months Christmas nears because of what Christ did for us. It's the amazing realization of just how much God loves you. But this shouldn't just make you want to rejoice in joy for one month, sing all year long! MERRY CHRISTMAS! |
