“The Light of Christmas” reflects the warmth, joy, and meaning of the holiday season. It does so through vivid imagery of Christmas lights and the ultimate Light of Christ. This poem invites readers to embrace the spirit of kindness and the hope brought by the birth of our Savior.
The Light of Christmas
The Light of Christmas
The tree is adorned with a radiant strand,
Twinkling gently, like a caroling band.
Its lights hum sweetly of love and cheer,
Drawing the spirit of Christmas near.Icicle lights fall like a winter cascade,
Quietly lending a silvery shade.
They frame our rooftops in an icy line,
A joyful sign of Christmastime.Bulbs illuminate in a rainbow hue,
A beacon of hope shining through.
Lanterns flicker with a nurturing grace,
Leading us home to a cherished place.Net lights drape bushes like shimmering seas,
Swaying softly in the evening breeze.
Through frosted panes, Yuletide candles burn,
A guiding light for hearts that yearn.Projection lights whirl upon the wall,
Inflatable Santa’s stand proud and tall.
A merry snowman with a beaming grin
Invites the season of joy within.Yet above it all, one Light prevails,
The Star of Bethlehem, whose flame unveils.
A path of peace that draws us near,
Spreading hope through each passing year.For Christ is the Light, our steadfast guide,
Born to redeem and walk by our side.
His love shines bright through each Silent Night,
A Savior’s gift, Emmanuel’s Light.So let us carry His Light wherever we go,
Through acts of kindness, let mercy flow.
With His birth, love’s dawn broke through,
A gift of grace for me and you.David Ritter 2024

These stand-alone poems were written over many years. Individually, they describe the conflicts linked to alcoholism. When read together, they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction. They also show the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Most of these poems pertain to my life. I hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
