COUNTING DOWN
Counting down to the moment
Of ultimate ecstasy foment…
We stay awake
For children’s’ sake,
Bearing with credit card torment.
–
Meaning slips year by year,
The older ways are more clear…
Yearly reminders
No commercial blinders,
Repetitious–but our conscience clears.
–
Come now to Bethlehem,
Marvel at the Babe again…
For joy running deep
While the Child’s sleep
Calms us to thank God for Him.
–Jonathan Caswell
