"The Sight of Christmas"
​by Sheila Corkery '22

Look there! At all the snow outside!
Watch as children's eyes grow wide

Ornaments hang delicately on all the trees
As people glide around on their skis

The plows start to move the slush out of the way, 
As we, together, sit down to pray

We decorate the hall with boughs of holly
And everyone seems so very jolly

We sing carols as one with all the neighbors 
And later we learn we’re not all professional ice skaters 

The presents await under the tree
And children feel so much glee

Christmas seems so serene
But always keep in mind what this holiday truly means
