Christmas Stardust
CHRISTMAS STARDUST
The angels sprinkled stardust
o’er the earth on Christmas night,
filling every valley
with a holy, perfect light,
they mixed in bits of peace and love,
then stirred in hope and joy,
they added special blessings
for every girl and boy,
they filled the world with music,
a song so sweet and rare,
that folks put down their sorrows
and offered up a prayer,
they prayed for all the good things
the angels brought that night,
to fill the hearts of all mankind
with goodness, truth, and light,
they bowed their thankful heads
and prayed with all their might.

Poem: I Wish You Joy
I WISH YOU JOY
I wish you joy today,
Whether it be
An unbidden moment of grace,
Time with a familiar face,
A warm embrace,
Or a trace of a memory
That stirs your heart,
Savor the moment,
Drink in the sounds,
The smells, the sights,
With eyes of delight,
Right in front of you
Lies something of wonder,
I wonder what it will be for you today,
I wish you joy in the discovery.

JUST POETRY AND PROSE
Just poetry and prose,
I suppose,
is a fresh start,
a place for me to hone the art
of tossing words in twos and threes
until I’m pleased
with what I’ve wrought,
there’s nothing more
I aim to do than that,
I might stumble onto words of worth,
form a phrase; give it birth,
there is no dearth
of words you see,
it’s all just poetry and prose
to me.
