At Christmas - Powerful Life Poetry by Edgar Albert Guest | Simerjeet Singh | Christmas Special

Christmas is a time for giving, sharing and spending quality time with loved ones. It's a time when we reflect on the year's passing and appreciate everything we have. The spirit of giving and bringing a smile to other people’s faces has a magical effect on us. That's what Edgar Albert Guest writes about in this short inspirational poem. We hope you find this poem as inspiring as we do. Let’s carry the spirit of Christmas through the rest of the year and transform this world into a beautiful place.  Wishing you all a Merry Christmas! 🤗🤗🤗 Regards, TeamSJS and Simerjeet Singh At Christmas by Edgar Guest A man is at his finest     towards the finish of the year; He is almost what he should be     when the Christmas season is here; Then he's thinking more of others     than he's thought the months before, And the laughter of his children     is a joy worth toiling for. He is less a selfish creature than     at any other time; When the Christmas spirit rules him     he comes close to the sublime. When it's Christmas man is bigger     and is better in his part; He is keener for the service     that is prompted by the heart. All the petty thoughts and narrow     seem to vanish for awhile And the true reward he's seeking     is the glory of a smile. Then for others he is toiling and     somehow it seems to me That at Christmas he is almost     what God wanted him to be. If I had to paint a picture of a man     I think I'd wait Till he'd fought his selfish battles     and had put aside his hate. I'd not catch him at his labors     when his thoughts are all of pelf, On the long days and the dreary     when he's striving for himself. I'd not take him when he's sneering,     when he's scornful or depressed, But I'd look for him at Christmas     when he's shining at his best. Man is ever in a struggle     and he's oft misunderstood; There are days the worst that's in him     is the master of the good, But at Christmas kindness rules him     and he puts himself aside And his petty hates are vanquished     and his heart is opened wide. Oh, I don't know how to say it,     but somehow it seems to me That at Christmas man is almost     what God sent him here to be."
