From the Heart
Louise Gibson
“The holiest of all holidays are those kept
by ourselves in silence and apart.
The secret anniversaries of the heart.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I applied Longfellow’s words to my heart
and brought Christmas into view.
I decorated my Christmas tree.
I wish I could share it with you.
A beautiful glass cross adorns the top,
and tiny white angels express their song.
When I keep my thoughts on Jesus, our Lord,
I have Christmas all year long.
