MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

"May the gentle Spirit

of this Holiday Season

fill your Hearts with Love."

since I couldn't send you all a card at home this is a copy of the ones I sent out this year!

                                The Lonely Crib   

       I pity the slender Mother-maid
    For the night was dark and her heart afraid
As she knelt in the straw where the beasts had trod
    And crooned and cooed to the living God.

And I pity Saint Joseph whose heart wept o'er
    The ruined stall and the broken floor
  And the roof unmended for Him and her,
     And to think himself was a carpenter!

O Thrones, Dominions, Spirits of Power,
Where were you there in that bitter hour!
   And where the Cherubim-wings withal
     To cover the wind-holes in the wall!

      The faded eyes of a wondering ass
Were dreamy mirrors where visions pass.
    And a poor old ox in the stable dim
  His moo was the song of the Seraphim

Merry Christmas everyone and may God Bless You.
