at Jesus birth...
some would go to the beach
to reflect life's worst and best
some would spend it inside
a church to pray and to be
with the king of kings
some will go to a final
resting place the cemetery
to spend it with their love ones
who had left this earth
like we all do someday
some will go to far away exotic places
that their hearts desire and wish
some will be with their new loves
professing love for each other
near that warm fire light
Christmas will not be here forever
the truth and a fact of life
to God's creations, all of humanity alike
the divine birth will only be
celebrated if you are lucky enough
lucky enough to have the ticket of life
given by Jesus Christ the celebrant
a ticket to live another God given year of your life
a golden ticket for the young and the old alike
a precious golden ticket that most of us desires
so to us that are still alive
let's not ever forget that...
in one of the coming years
this divine holiday will be beyond our reach
will be beyond our touch or grasp...
christians of all generations celebrate His divine birth each on their own ways, young or old. to you who are midway there or almost there into old age it is just a matter of time, do not worry you'll get there too, laughs... IF God is merciful to you :) ...and to the younger generations, do not live in illusions. youth is just a fleeting thing. youth will turn into old age as it has always been as it has always had. it's just the cycle of life...
night and day, baclaran church... the arch that inspired my donated gate :)
night and day is to old and young
top to bottom if you deal in ranks
day and night if the difference is large
love and hate if emotion had gone way ward
sunshine or rain is sadness to happiness
smiles and frowns is to no and yes
forward and backward is to progress and defeat
laurels and thorns is to reward and punishment
all of these meant the opposites
stop or go as to die or live
fight or surrender meant hope or failed
loser or winner but we want a gift
positives are more often accepted
negatives are dark foreboding links
stepping up is much preferred
so day and night we must not forget...
HAPPY B-DAY DEAR JESUS :)
