At parties I try

to leave soon, always longing --


for festivity!

It does not matter.
If you inflict a wound in my heart, I will make my wound blossom with a Thousand songs of love, and a garden of tulip flowers!

It does not matter.
If you crucify me on the cross of origin or religion,
I will turn my cross to become a shrine for freedom lovers!

It does not matter.
If you declare 'Punish Hussein Day', I will replace your day
Of punishment with feast, festivity, and celebration of life!

It does not matter,
If you insult me or call me every name in the book,
I will transform your harm to a prayer and regard
You as my equal in humanity!

Let love be in our heart
Gratitude for everyone
The finest season to reflect
And spread happiness
We are here, together
It is one world
And let’s reach out to greet
Magic is in the air
Best wishes for all
Being there for each other
Let that be a prayer
This season is a reminder
To keep love in our heart
Every day of the year
Wishing everyone here, on Hello Poetry, Merry Christmas! Thank you everyone for all the love, support and encouragement. Let's pray for a beautiful year ahead.

When winter is at its peak
And temperatures plummet
Festive fervor keeps us warm
Love and wishes for everyone
From the heart and soul
White is the symbol of peace
And red, the glow of love
It strengthens the bond
With the flames of love kindled
In every heart and home
Winter’s sweetness to savor
Shake away the cold
And keep the happiness intact
With kind words and deeds
As we wait for another year
Full of hope, beauty, and love

— The End —
