It’s the twinkling stars lighting up the tree
leaving those immobile in close proximity
the silence and the glory cradled gently to our heart
warming each sensation, joining relatives apart
the wonder of the season and each joyous song
that hushes retribution, forgives every wrong.
Let’s all join together with peace and love on earth
so our only protestation is of Jesus and His birth.

Didn't you do well, with three unlikely words. Amen to the feelings in your poem.
Now THAT would be a wondrous thing indeed. May it be so. Lovely poem for this time of year.
That phrase "the silence and the glory cradled in our hearts" is absolutely glorious to read and to ponder.
Beautifully expressed, Laurie! This kind of protest I can handle.
