A Christmas Poem: Hope And Love For New York City

A Christmas Poem, By WCBS 880's Peter Haskell

It might feel like spring, but this tree sets us straight.
It's ablaze in bright lights from morning til late.

It's a symbol of hope, of joy and of peace.
A time for a breath, exhale and release.

The world can feel scary with its hate and its fear.
Makes the message of Christmas seem all the more clear.

We need love, understanding, compassion and care.
These are the gifts we really should share.

We gaze to the future, we hope and we pray.
That our lives will get better with each passing day.

Share your heart and your spirit, hug your lad or your lady.
At Rock Center, Peter Haskell WCBS Newsradio 880.
