A Christmas Poem

Will the lights upon my Christmas tree,
Reach the shadows found in me?

The promise of a Savior born,
Will that calm this inner storm?

Can a present tied with bows,
Heal the pain that no one knows?

A jolly elf dressed up in red,
Will he stop the voices in my head?

The ones who tell me to give in,
This battle is one I cannot win.

Can a star that's shining in the night,
Lead me out of darkness and into light?

Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel,
Come and save me, make me well.
