Christmas 2019
Peace, Christmas Peace
Nothing in life
is ever one-sided,
but this current strife
has our country divided.Not since the years
of the Vietnam War
have political fears
hurt relationships more.But it's Christmas!
Relax, get some sleep.
Our families need us--
the battle will keep.In World War I,
in the midst of the fray,
a truce was begun
on a chill Christmas day.One soldier voiced
"Silent Night" in the cold,
then both sides rejoiced
in that carol of old.Divided, we fall;
let the arguing cease.
Descend on us all
sweet Spirit of Peace.2019 Cheri Neuman Herald
