Mary said, “I am the

Mary immediately went to
see Elizabeth, and when she
entered the house and called
out a greeting, the baby in
Elizabeth’s womb leaped, and
Elizabeth was filled with the
Holy Spirit. Elizabeth cried,
“How is it that the mother of
my Lord shall come to me? For
behold, when you greeted me,
the baby leaped in my womb
for joy. You are blessed among
women!”
Mary sang a song of praise
and dedication. She stayed
with Elizabeth for three
months, and then went back

T’WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AND GROWN-UPS WOULD CELEBRATE
HE LIVED ALL ALONE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE
MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE I COULDN’T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME
NO TINSEL NO PRESENTS
NOT EVEN A TREE THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT
A TEAR TO MY EYE
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND AND STARTED TO CRY
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES “SANTA DON’T CRY,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS THIS IS MY LIFE CHOICE;
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
I DON’T ASK FOR MORE
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING I COULDN’T CONTROL IT
SILENT, ALONE I CONTINUED TO WEEP
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS
SO SILENT AND STILL
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER FROM THE COLD NIGHTS CHILL
NOT HOW I PICTURED
AN AMERICAN SOLDIER I DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD DARK NIGHT
WAS THIS HERO THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
OF WHOM I’D JUST READ? SO WILLING TO FIGHT
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO
THE FLOOR FOR A BED? THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
WITH VOICE SOFT AND PURE
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES WHISPERED “CARRY ON SANTA
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT ITS CHRISTMAS DAY ALL IS SECURE.”
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT
SOON ROUND THE WORLD “MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.”
