PROMISED LIGHT

Darkness gradually creeping into all souls
Making us feel no longer whole
Day after day living in the darkness of despair
No hope for light seen – bowing heads in prayer

In the middle of our darkest of days
A promised tiny light came to say
“I am” the one who has come to save
The World and today is my Birthday

About this poem:
The darkness of winter days seems endless. Then around the shortest day of the year we celebrate the birth of the light of the world - the tiny baby - Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Thank you K_Ann - it's dark at the winter solstice and during the darkest and shortest days Christmas arrives to shine light on our souls.

Thank you Happy. The darkness of winter can be depressing and a downer especially for me being laid up right now. I'm just trying to count my blessings and look forward to the anniversary of the birth of the True Light of the world.

Yes GP, this tiny Baby is the light of the world. His presence in this season is not noticed by many but he is our world to be forever grateful to come into this world and save us from darkness. Thanks for sharing.SM
