Revealing

A Christmas message - Poem using the Alouette form

with snowflakes swirling
my wings unfurling
an angel clearly revealed
above the tree line
expression divine
message no longer concealed

come listen and hear
all will become clear
this winter might be your last
so mend well your ways
no offer of praise
will clear the sin you've amassed

so always be kind
in each one then find
some spark of humanity
for however faint
and no one's a saint
that is true Christianity

treat each as someone
God's will then be done
give freely the aid they need
No excuse will pass
this feast of Christmas
giving is better than greed
