Peace on Earth

The Christmas season fills the air
With laughter and with song
The wintry winds blow here and there
The nights grow cold and long.

Christmas gifts are scant this year
Still the days are partly sunny
Another year has come and gone
We've had to stretch our money.

Time has dealt a colder blow
In many other ways
Our friends have struggled more than us
In December's waning days.

There's strife and hunger pain and war
There's little time to dance
In far too many other lands
Where peace rarely gets a chance.

What if everyone stopped for just a day
From killing anyone at all
And just gave thanks for the silence
And let it permeate the lull?

Peace on Earth goodwill to all
What a marvelous sentiment
May it reverberate around the world
To those with good intent.

It's a message that can transcend
The troubles of the day
And bring relief however brief
A voice above the fray.

Angels singing from on high
Sweetly sweetly oer the lands
May we be united one and all
While joyously holding hands.
