Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The devil must be smiling
as we wake before dawn
changing Christmas into shopping
clawing for a sale

Losing sight of the Christ-child
the miracle of His coming
lost in misdirected frenzy
rushing here and there

Satan must revel
in the folly of this season
where once the manger lay
now endless commotion

The stillness of that night
the angels on high
the shepherds watching on the hill
the child in its mother’s arms

Oh let us return
in the humbleness of Advent
waiting for our King
His birth that had been foretold
