It never is a questionOf being old enoughTo make my own decision,With wisdom and precision,And so, progress.

I wish for you a Christmas of the heart,Where, in a sweet serenity of mind,Within your consciousness, the Christ may findA place where angels gather, blessing youAnd bringing joy and freedom to the earth.
