When Christmas Comes to Town

On a dark chilly December night,
light broke from the clouds,
in the form of song from the spirit.
It filled the heart, it warmed the soul,
It removed stress and calmed nerves.
It let those pained let go of all the destruction.
It eased the mind and relaxed the body,
when Christmas comes to town.

It is the North Star looming in the sky.
It is the family surrounding the Christmas tree
and the ceremonial hanging of ornaments,
reliving each moment as each little ball of shining
silver is taken from its box.
It is the ribbons lining the railing,
supporting every hand stitched stocking
and filled with the goodies from Santa
when Christmas comes to town.

It is the spirit that runs through the house.
It is the cookies baked warm and decorated
carefully by hand and sprinkled with glee.
It is the music that fills the ears.
That holds the Christmas spirit,
Every man, every woman, every child,
embracing the light,
when Christmas comes to town.
