Christmas is a day, Advent is a season



when we disparage Christmas
the selling of the holy
superficial religion
focusing on shopping

we must remember
the balance of the equation
Christmas is a day,
Advent is a season

Time if we make it
in holy waiting
holding onto Advent
even beyond the season

Waiting for the coming
the return of Christ
because he is the center
the reason for our worship
