CHRISTMAS - 2012

Another Christmas dawned in 2012
Yes the days roll on year after year
Has the world changed to the words
Of Jesus before he was crucified?
Nay it is the answer but all celebrate
The Christmas as a merry occasion
Interior d‚cor changed to folly flowers
Cyprus branch decored in Christmas colours
Panicked world begins for charity
Doors opened for peasants in every house.
Carols sung, lanterns lit, Santas all over
With toys and cookies to kids a wander!
Even after years of two thousand twelve
Why aren't the doors opened daily for poor?
Remember Jesus wants the spirit of Christmas
Shared daily with poor at least in the year 2013?
