Remedy

by Brian Francis

Hope returns on a winters day
a gift to all mankind,
Freeing us from guilt and pain
a child pure and divine.

Though turned away from every door
denied the hearths warm glow
the child's love endures today
for those he's yet to know.

With faith the guide to meet him
and truth the only key,
call out his name, He will come
and help your blind eyes see.

A faithful reflection of this season. That first stanza is a very strong invitation that pulls me head first into this piece. Thank you.

Wonderful Chrismtas message Brian, made all the impactful, in light of what happened in Newtown.

Snow looks pure but I'm a realist and know that mud is still underneath. The message is beautiful and thanks for the well wishes.
