Merry Christmas!

When the song of angels is stilled
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost
To heal the broken
To feed the hungry
To release the prisoner
To bring peace among people
To make music in the heart

I am not sure if this is a poem, but a friend gave it to me as such my first Christmas in Sweden and it has remained my favourite Christmas poem ever since. Merry Christmas to you all.

This is a wonderful Christmas poem, Helen – thank you. Peace amongst people and music in the heart would go a long way towards finding the lost, feeding the hungry and releasing the prisoner. . . Christmas blessings to you, too.
Merry Christmas, Claire.
