'Twas the Day After Christmas

Tree dressed

Decorations hung

Gifts bought

Cards sent

Nativity plays seen

Mulled wine sipped

Concerts watched

Mince pies gone

Services led

Carols sung

Friends met

Family gathered

Presents unwrapped

Turkey eaten

Dishes done

Leftovers recycled

Time to stop

Time to reflect

Christmas 2011

How it has touched me

A starry sky

A candle lit church

Recalling the story

With glimpses anew

Valuing what I have

Remembering those in need

Engaging that bit deeper

With the unfathomable depth of love.
