Shiny Bright

 Shiny Bright                           12/28/2015

Never have the colors been brighter

And never have I felt so warm

Over flowing with joy and hope

Celebrating the day

That Christ was born. 

In nothing we have everything

And in sacrifice

We own the world

Sleeping soundly

In perfect victory.

My treasure

Is the joy in my children eyes

And my hope is in faith

That never fails.

Love is content

And love is happiness

Because without contentment

There is no joy.  

We sang louder than ever

And I left the lights on at night

Bigger, brighter, and bolder

Than ever before. 

Let he haters hate

Because they always have

And they always will

Angry in plenty

And jealous with pride.

Hang a wreath on the gate

And be glad in your heart

Even when disappointed

And even in loss.

Let it be a symbol

Of victory already won

Long ago decided

For you, for me

And everyone.
