A tingling sense of expectation
to celebrate the mere creation
of Jesus Christ if you believe
or other faiths, we still retrieve
a sense of festive times right now
a build up annually how
to best arrange togetherness
with food and fancy gifts no less
our urge to break the pattern clear
and leave all problems, just steer
the minds and feelings to a mood
that elevates the spirits good
a longing starting weeks before
advent`s goal to fully score
fight the darkness with candle light
the future then feels quite all right
