I wrote this a couple of years ago. It's what I wish for all of you.

Whatever you believe

Whatever you believe about this night,
Christ child or Santa, midnight sleigh or star
or just commercial hype; whichever rite
is yours – shopfest, church, turkey, caviar;
whether an omnivore or gastronome,
a shrinking violet or a gigolo;
wherever you may find yourself – at home
or in exotic parts with sun or snow
I wish you laughter that will thaw your pain.
I wish you hope to overcome all fear.
I wish you, most of all, love to sustain
and nourish you throughout the coming year.
With stories, gifts and elbow grease we weave
the truth of love – the rest is make-believe.
SW

    What a lovely poem Sticky, and thanks for all your advice and support
    He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.
