Christmas Psalm

Bear, Daisy and Tom crash after a Christmas Dinner that can't be beat....

Christmas Psalm

By Tom King © 2009

Christmas is my touchstone

It makes me smile at strangers.

It pushes me to reach out to family.

It fills my head with music.

It tells me I should at least try to be pleasant 

to the harried clerk at Wal-Mart.

Even though I am over-worked 

and aching down to my very bones,

I pull it all together one more time; one more year.

And I am lifted up and taught to be a better man 

than I had thought to be,

     because it’s Christmas
