HAPPY CHRISTMAS




for unto us a child is born
the gates of hell
will not prevail against
the prince of peace


Martin Place Sydney

a floral tribute
we bow our heads in praise
and sing as one

a terrorist siege will not rob us
of the joy of Christmas
we will continue to sing
His praises in packed churches
hope springs eternal
freedom and love will triumph

A Happy Christmas To You All

    The true joy of celebrating Christmas must remain; your poem makes that so clear. I am so very sorry for the tragedy in Sydney. More than that, however, I am so grateful to God for His mercies that triumph over us. Sending you joy this blessed season.

    The enemies of dark.. do seem to never sleep.. but as long as we live in loving light and shine upon the dark of enemies that have no light..
    LIGHT will win over dark.. as the dark of number do never shine
    BRIGHT!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND AN ALWAYS MERRY NOW!
