in fear.
we shudder.
thinking we may offend.
someone.
by speaking.
the wrong words.
because political correctness.
ties a knot.
in our throats.
and makes us mute
But in Love,
When the opportunity
Presents itself,
My heart smiles,
And my soul soars,
As the Morning Star
Rises in my heart,
And I shout out,
Bursting with joy,
“Merry Christmas!”
