Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Packages gathered under a tree
A giggling child upon your knee
The ability to roam around free
Thanks to God,
And Science
and Democracy.
Let us never forget when the “you”
Greets a “me”
A space is created
Where the “us”
Can just be.
Whether kneeling or standing
It all comes to this-
We would
None of us
Be here
Without God’s first kiss.
So let’s toast to the season
And be of good cheer
Remembering the Reason
We’re all really here.
With gratitude for this oh so special Day
