A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

Christmas makes us kinder.
It softens hardened hearts,
Of evil makes us blinder,
As baser thoughts depart.
It forms on lips sweet smiles,
Puts a glint in every eye,
That we forget the miles,
As sadness passes by.
And while we sit by fires
Staring into dancing flames,
We hear the sound of choirs,
Those once a year refrains.
For as evening time expires
Dawns Christmas once again.
