DEPRESSED

 

It’s December…. For some

depression arrives with the cold.

Memories for some

can be like blankets to hide under.

Moods – can bring dumb and numb

feelings.

 

It’s December…. For some

hope and joy arrives with the season.

Memories for some

can be like choirs of angels to surround us.

Moods – like bells can bring sounds

and Christ feelings and his arrival.

 

It’s December…. For some

depression can be a choice

or an onslaught or it can be a moment

to get help – to experience a new why –

why Jesus comes in the first place –

perhaps to experience Christ for the first time.
