The Elusive Mirth

Christmas is everywhere
We see all vivid decors
We hear all mirthful tenors
We taste all exquisite flavors!
Splendid, colorful
Mellifluous, flavorful
Everything is amazing
Everything is dazzling!
These are the beautiful things
That the splendid Yuletide Season brings
But they all emanate from one thing ---
A matter that is fascinating!
For what gives these beautiful things
Significance and meaning
Are not the outward beauty they possess
Nor the extravagance or the excesses
For the real beauty that lingers
Cannot be seen, cannot be touched
For the true magic that flickers
Cannot be earned, cannot be munched
This beautiful, elusive mirth
Is not even worth a penny
It is something free
But makes everyone happy
It is something we can give
Especially on Christmas Eve
It is every little good deed
That puts a smile on one in need
For the source of the beauty that lingers
Lies within all of us, sinners
It is a gift from the heavens above
It is nothing but pure love

That we ought to share
To those we love and care
And even those we're not aware
It is for everyone, everywhere!
To extend mercy and charity
To give hope and forgiveness
To practice modesty and humility
To reconcile and bring happiness
These are all the beautiful things
Invaluable and free
Yet these will make everyone happy
And they all share that one lingering beauty ---
The love we have for each other
That emanates from the baby in the manger
And everything He stands for
As we celebrate his birth together
Let the magic flow and resonate
As we continue to celebrate
Let it be felt by everyone
Let sadness be felt by no one
And bring peace and good tidings
To everyone on earth
Such an invaluable thing ---
This dazzling, but elusive mirth!
