Bishop Brook's Christmas Poem 2016

 With my apologies to Clement Clark Moore, the author of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, and to anyone who is an actual lover of poetry, here is my 2016 Fifth Ward Christmas composition.

'Twas the night before Sunday

'Twas the night before Sunday

And where we live

Preparations began

For service to give

And Mom in her housecoat

And me in my cap

Had just settled down

For a short evening nap

When up on our roof

There arose such a din

And those cursed magpies

Were trying to get in

And sleep now departed

And worries instead

About the next Sunday

Would not leave my head

And would all the people

Remember their tasks

That they'd been assigned

That they had been asked

Would the speakers deliver

Their messages clear

Would they make the Chinook

That is one of my fears

Would the bread be provided

Or would I have to send

Brother Rowe on an errand

A commandment to bend

Will all of the teachers

Be there in their place

To teach all the children

Who they have to face

And will all the youth

Appear in the room

Or just disappear

Into closets for brooms

And will the whole building

Be clean as it should

Have the contacted people

Truly scoured it good

And what if it snows

Have the shovelers been called

And don't even start

On the roof that might fall

But then I remember

The time of the year

That brings us together

That brings us good cheer

That all of those worries

Do not mean a thing

For with His example

Some peace He will bring

For though we are different

From near and from far

We still have in common

That search for the star

That shone in the heavens

And walked on the earth

That gave us His message

That starts with His birth

That promises calm

In a world full of pain

And delivers us hope

When from sin we refrain

And so it is Christmas

That one time of year

When we focus on others

And bring them good cheer

About these glad tidings

Proclaimed from above

About His arrival

And His message of love

For with all of our worries

From that day to this

It's love that's the answer

His promise of bliss

And so to my family

That's all of you here

Merry Christmas to all

And a Happy New Year
