Christmas Blessings

A Christmas Carol 
                                     by G.K. Chesterton


The Christ-Child lay on Mary's lap,
His hair was like a light.
O weary, weary were the world, 
But here is all aright.

The Christ-child lay on Mary's breast
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings, 
But here the true hearts are.

The Christ-child lay on Mary's heart, 
His hair was like a fire.
O weary, weary is the world, 
But here the world's desire.

The Christ-child stood on Mary's knee, 
His hair was like a crown, 
And all the flowers looked up at him, 
And all the stars looked down.

May you all have a Blessed Christmas 
and a Fruitful New Year.
