What Christmas Means to Me
By: Noel N. Villarosa
December 17, 2015
The same feeling as I was a
child
It does not change, what I
believe
Christmas spirit felt and
beguiled
At Christmas, we welcome
being naïve
It is setting aside worries
for the meantime
Look around and you’ll care
for other’s needs
For this time, kids are
caroling instead of nursery rhyme
A long break from work and
school will succeed
Some would say won’t have
celebration this year
As someone is gone to heaven
bringing holiday blues
As this season means family
reunion to endear
Have yourself emerged, you
have to choose
Finding happiness in the
simplest ways
The world has become more
entertaining to view
Lantern watching and carnival
visit to satisfy sullen days
After jaunting, visit movie
houses to watch something new
It is time to be thankful for
year-round blessings
It may not be a good year for
you, but for others, it is
It is a worry-free, at
heart-peace is worth possessing
Presence of loved ones doing
old stuff that you miss
As here we are in modern
days, we stick to old tradition
Gather around old photo
albums and walk through golden days
Reconnecting is the best
time, call by phone or write admission
Forgiveness is a key in
healing; reach out as time fades and decays
