Comment from Peter Jarvis
Your poem captures the essence of the holiday season with a thoughtful blend of celebration, reflection, and faith. The contrast between the fleeting festivities and the enduring challenges of life is poignant, and your references to political turmoil and personal faith add layers of meaning. The closing stanza is a hopeful reminder of the joy and prosperity that faith can bring.
