Declare

A Christmas Need

Isaiah 9:6-7


May thee keep this winter's day
With its soft and fallen snow.
May thee find that certain way
To have thy loved ones know.

For what and for whom
Do we, thee and I, live
but to take into our hearts
And within our hearts give
Ourselves to one another?
For what seek ye color?
For what seek ye creed?
We are sister and brother
Sharing one common need. . . .
LOVE

May this Christmas never end for thee
May thee always have need of me.
