A poem that shows both the pains and greats of christmas and winter

Albino frost upon the floor

Lips are chapped and hands are sore

A Christmas spirit arises above

People embrace Christmas love


A time for play and toys galore

Wrapping paper ruined, torn

The familiar thought of Santa's elves

Stacking gifts upon the shelves


But darkness leaps from up top

Putting some spirits to a stop

Bringing some close to tears

And showing them their worst fears


Death counts his heavy toll

And ventures through the deathly cold

Claiming victims in the night

And filling injured with pale fright


But should we fret or should we excite

Should we go dark or go light

Neither is the simple word

We should give to human and bird


We should help the ones that cry

We should love before we die

And we shall make the world unite

And spread the warming Christmas light


So now farewell, ciao and goodbye

Remember those who live and cry

So off you go, all from here

Merry Christmas and happy New Year
