    The Spirit of Christmas

    A day ordinary

         In most of men’s minds,

               But to a few - extraordinary

                    Because of a wee baby’s cry.


    Amid a world of indifference

         Distinguished by the mundane,

              Came the God of Creation

                   Divinely Ordained.


    Laid in a manger

          Of lowly estate,

              He set His Glory aside

                   For a human birth date.


    All in the interest

         Of righting a wrong,

             And drawing man to Himself

                   Does the Spirit of Christmas belong.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
