"Picture Perfect Scenery"

Christmas picture so perfect the scenery

warming my heart thanking God for life,

a beautiful tree with multicolored hues

silver plume decorations on my mind

counting time my pain of being blind.

Hidden like silent midnight dreams

the streams of golden lilies weep

below the full moon across the sky,

land drowses through spacious time

where peace may be found that lasts.

To those who ponder how to live a life

sitting in a wheel chair behind the wall

in the old age home know of such beauty,

Christmas angels gifting presents for free

remembering when my Dad held my hand.

His love to teach me with faith and hope

opening the wrapping slowly in the dark,

reading this lovely message in braille –

‘’Your vision of New Year resolutions

are blessings from Jesus for you

your memory of him in Heaven.

The baby in a manger our Savior

gifted by wise men under the stars

born to die lonely on a cross for our sins.

Heaven waits eternal lances raised to Christ,

our New Year picture perfect in your blindness.”
