Christmas
Christmas
the mass of Christ
mass means together
we value peace on this day
many in a non-sectarian way;
silence prevails
though there will be those
who’ll try to ruin it
what can we say?
Christians might say
that Christ came down to earth
or came up
or came from all around
to buy peace, yes, and offer
of salvation, a ransom for the
sins of all—this is how our
lesson goes
must we enjoy belief in this
to have peace at this time?
I think we know the answer’s no
Preferred, maybe, by the sect
though God’s peace
is offered up as God’s preference
everywhere, for all
if you know John three-sixteen,
please read through seventeen—
and all have a glorious, peace-filled
Christmas day

Beautiful reminder that God’s peace is offered to mankind everywhere and at every time. May the peace of the creator be with you today and always. Thanks for posting at the Senior Salon.

Thank you for so much. For affirming that if God’s peace is deserved for anyone, it’s deserved for everyone. And for inviting me to the Salon. I’m working my way in. The Peace of God and of the season be with you.
