The Peace of Christmas-Time
"The Peace of Christmas-Time" is a short Christmas poem that holds grief and comfort side by side. A speaker addresses their beloved as children dance joyfully around the Christmas tree, yet one small face is missing — a child now gone. Through the gentle image of the Christ-child bringing peace, the poem moves from loss toward a tender, aching consolation, as memory returns the absent little one, if only for a moment.
