Only God Can Provide Us With Peace. Poem by DM W

The loudspeaker blares out the words, of ' Silent night'
Yet ' Sleep in heavenly peace! ' sounds so ironic,
As the crowds surge forth in a crazed quest for presents.
Although Christmas is now hailed and branded as a
Holiday of joy and peace, it seems anything
But peaceful! Yet, we know deep down in our hearts, that
Christmas is clearly not about a peaceful
Shopping experience or an idyllic snow
Covered holiday. It really has nothing to
Do with theweather, or the music, or the gifts.
Rather Christ came to provide us with lasting peace.
He left his heavenly throne so we could find peace
With God. Although this wayward world can be incredibly
Noisy, crowded and cold, God can place peace in our souls.
