the gift of Christmas
harmless
see the sweet faces,
the shining eyes,
the heart of gold?
they will
you but breeze off
the soot
the mirror shows them
proof of blackness
it is you
who reach under
and touch
what shines away
the darkness
is it you
whose light
makes visible
the sparkling radiance,
the endless laughter,
beneath the heavy layer
of dust
see the halo
shining now?
all they will
is that they be their
own friend
they have come to you asking,
and await excitedly your reply,
am i lovable?
am i worthy?
am i ok after all
this bemoaning?
and isn't it
your greatest joy
to say
Yes!
Dearest One,
Yes!
