Peace Is Not A Season

by Sy Brandon

Christmas time, brings out the best in us

We treat each other kindly,

We give our gifts to family and friends,

In December, that is timely.

 

In honor of the birth of Christ,

we share the joy of giving.

And after December twenty fifth,

We forget how we are living.

 

Peace is not a season

to be forgotten later on.

The promise of the birth of Christ

is that we feel his love beyond.

 

The warmth and love of family and friends

should extend to strangers too.

Even though we may not know what they're like

that stranger could be you.

 

The comfort that Jesus brings

can heal the world of woe.

Through compassion and understanding

we can make a friend of a foe.

 

Peace is not a season

that comes just once a year.

The promise of the birth of Christ

is that we live in love not fear.

 

Let's take the time to pause and think

about this special season.

And make a promise to our God

to share His peace, to share His love

for this special reason:

 

Peace is not a season

a respite from our strife.

The promise of the birth of Christ

is that peace is a way of life.
