The Christmas Understanding : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

Christmas advertisements on TV and shops crammed full of crowds .
What am I going to do .

 

I ran here and there like a downpour falling out of the clouds and the sun never broke through  .

 

In all the mad rush and excitement I couldn't hear myself think .
There was too much in the way .

 

All the things I needed to see disappeared when my eye just blinked .
The fast pace of life they say .

 

I was looking for a quiet place where the storm inside me could quell ,
Then I lifted up my head .

 

Climbing up a Christmas a mountain to the sky where the sunlight fell  ,

And I could hear what was said  .

 

I searched for the message of Christmas and you answered when I called ,

There in the silence I heard

Then all the pressure of buying things seemed trivial after all ,

Peace at Christmas , is the word .

   

We have to walk through deserts at Christmas to find the right path back ,

To where we should be standing .

 

On a rock of faith we find the truth of Christmas , and that's a fact ,

Treasure the understanding .
