It's just a good feeling when you know
That someone, somewhere, cares for you somehow,
No matter where you've been or where you'll go
Or what you were or what you are now.
It's not the season that you need to know,
It's not the many gifts you'll receive.
It's the taking of time to hold on so
To something that you need to believe.
This one day will eventually end
And be set aside until next year
But why not keep it nearby, my friend?
You see, God always keeps you quite near.
--Skip Johnson, from the St. Mark Advent book Thoughts on Advent, 1984
