A X'mas Message

Christmas,

Is a nice, deep well of replenishing water

After a long walk on a desert

Under the sun that doesn’t falter.

Christmas,

Is a heartwarming fire that awakens

The innate goodness of the human nature

And kindles and rekindles

The flame of generosity, faith and compassion.

Christmas,

Is a gentle breeze that cures and comforts

Even the weariest and most desperate of souls

This Yuletide Season

Amidst the rush, cares and concerns

I hope that we’d all seek for and turn to

Our Replenishing Water,

Our Kindling, Heartwarming Fire

And Our Curing, Comforting Breeze

But, more importantly, I pray that we could all be

All these nourishing things to others.

Amidst all the socio-political noise

And the hopelessness

Brought about by the colossal global financial crisis,

It is my deepest desire

That we may all remain steadfast,

Enduring and hopeful.

After all, to live is to dream.

To dream is to hope.

To hope is to believe.

And to believe is to live.

May the light, the mirthand the warmth

Of Our Beloved Christ’s Birth be with us always!
