It shines in the eyes of the children

It glows with every kind deed

It exudes love

Christmas Spirit

Some try to scoff at it

Others demean the existence

There are those who attempt to squelch it

Every year someone says it is gone

But it withstands all attacks

Reuniting each year

Many try to capture it

But it can not be contained

Though it can be shared by word or song

Were that all could experience this wonder

Were that all would capture this light

Would not the world be more bright
