A Christmas tree and a Menorah,
woke one morning right next to
one another!
Both were shocked to be so placed,
thinking this was such a total disgrace!
Well, being immobile there was nothing either could do!
They each avoided looking at one
another.
Eventually they did, then a great
friendship was launched and they
developed a fondness for each other.
I heard them chatting and talking
about their commonalities.
And even..how better this world
could be!
Someone lit them at sundown and
the lights of each glowed.
With their loving brotherhood and
whispers...shimmering on the beauteous,
silvered-falling snow.
They taught each other songs of
their respective heritages.
Swapped stories of what their
lights represented.
There was no chatter of who was
wrong or who was right!
They were there to simply light the
human spirit, tonight.
I, silently and helplessly, wept in
utter delight!
Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah

I would like to translate this poem
A very special one for the Christmas season. Thanks for sharing...10+.
Thank you. I really try to respect my brothers point of view and heritages. All of us are creations of God. Love is the only answer. Being righteous, beating up those who do not think as we do, makes us animals chewing on one another. A waste of time and an unhappy life. We must do for others not be beggars or weaklings...Panagiota
