Christmas time is magic time
that’s what people say,
do I feel less a victim
and much less like a prey?
**
There are days I’m just as sad
as I have lately been,
feeling much like losing.
On others like I may win?
**
Is it what it’s called
“The Christmas spirit’s sense”
that makes me more relaxed
spares me from being tense.
**
My feelings are in ups and downs
nothing steady, it is true
one day I’m cheerful
the next day I am blue.
**
Sometimes when I see stars
hear the Christmas sound
I find myself at peace
my feet strong on the ground.
**
Seldom and still it is there
rare and strong, the need to cope
a feeling that is nagging
the feeling, that’s called “hope”…
