Clearly Christmas

Ring out the bells and decorate

Everything in sight;

Mount yard displays, and rooftop too;

String miles of coloured light.

Not some midwinter festival,

Nor somber solstice rite,

This celebration once a year,

Brim-bursting with delight. 

This is Christmas, unabashed;

Intrusive, joyful, loud 

As camel caravans at night

Or caroling angel crowd.

As gleeful as the scrambling child

Wide wondrous-eyed at dawn,

Give voice and hand and heart to joy

Before the season’s gone.

Beyond all ritual, commerce, myth,

Or present world’s despair

Let friends and family be the gift

We all are blessed to share.
