In winter's heart, where snowflakes gently fall,
Upon the world in silent, soft embrace,
There lies a time, most magical of all,
When Christmas spirit fills the earth's vast space.
With lights that twinkle in the peaceful night,
Reflecting joy in every child's bright eye,
The world, adorned in garments pure and white,
Seems hushed beneath the star-embroidered sky.
In homes, where fires crackle warm and clear,
Families gather, hearts entwined as one,
Sharing tales of yuletide cheer,
Under the mistletoe where kisses are spun.
This season, may love's gentle hand extend,
To bring us peace, and heal what time might rend.
