An Ode to Generosity and the Spirit of Saint Nicholas

More about An Ode to Generosity and the Spirit of Saint Nicholas

In quiet shadows of December’s glow,
Where frost-kissed winds across rooftops blow,
A tale endures of a man most kind,
Who gave with a humble and selfless mind.

Saint Nicholas, the bearer of light,
A beacon of warmth in the coldest night,
With a heart for the poor and a soul to uplift,
He offered the downtrodden the greatest gift.

No fanfare sought, no riches displayed,
But purses of gold in silence he laid,
For daughters whose futures were shrouded in fear,
He gave them the hope to draw love near.

Not treasures for power, nor wealth for acclaim,
But lives restored in humanity’s name,
His acts were a hymn to the sacred creed:
True joy springs not from want, but from need.

O ye who gather in this blessed season,
Shun greed’s whisper, let love be your reason.
For the wealth of a heart that freely gives,
Is the greatest fortune where kindness lives.

Let us cherish the poor, whose laughter so bright,
Illuminates darkness, inspires the fight,
To see every hand, no matter how small,
Lifted in grace, a gift for us all.

May the spirit of giving guide our days,
Through humble actions, through quiet praise,
And as Saint Nicholas walked with light,
Let us tread boldly, spreading the right.

So on this Christmas, in joy and cheer,
Remember the poor, hold their needs near.
For in every coin or kindness bestowed,
The spirit of love will forever flow.
