A poem from a friend

[minoanmiss]

Thespian mentioned this poem every so often, in the waning days of this year or that. I found it in my files, and thought I'd put it here.



If I cannot bring you comfort,
then at least I bring you hope
For nothing is more precious
than the time we have, and so
We all must learn from small misfortune
Count the blessings that are real
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
At the closing of the year
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
At the closing of the year.

If I cannot bring you comfort
then at least I bring you hope….
Now all the winter bells are ringing
Hear them echo through the snow
And the children's voices singing
on the streets so far below
This is a time to be together
And the truth is somewhere here
Within our love of people
At the closing of the year.

--Wendy and Lisa

It is a lovely piece :) Thank you for sharing it with us.

May I repost?

[minoanmiss]

Oh absolutely! I should look up the authors' names more precisely.

[med_cat]

Thank you :) Let me know if you find out further info, I'll add it in.

In a later comment here kshandra posted a link to the video of the song. It turns out that they go by their first names as a duo.

Probably one of my favorite Christmas songs.

Seal is in the video, looking remarkably like Baron Samedi to me.

[minoanmiss]

... yeah, I see the honored Baron in him there.

Thank you a LOT for linking me to this. :)

Curiouser and curiouser, Alice. Also, I think that's the first time I have seen someone, however briefly, playing air violin. :)

Oh, that is lovely. I rather want to set it to music.
