Hey everyone! I'm so sorry I've been so bust lately, and this is a little late, but I'm going to be doing poems for each week of advent. Since I'm behind, I'll have two poems this week then after that, one poem up each Sunday up until Christmas. So expect another poem around Thursday or Friday and another Sunday and so on. Anyway, here's the first on the candle of hope.

Lord, I know the feeling of loss and despair

I know that sometimes life isn't always fair

Sometimes this world will bring me to my knees

And leave me empty inside when it's only me I try to please

I know there are times I try to look good doing selfless acts

But I'm tempted to be prideful and be led off tracks

I know that there are times where I'm stressed about my grades

And a bad score on an exam feels like cutting blades

But Lord, you said if we believe in you then suffering is a must

And one day we'll be okay if it's in you we trust

And soon the day is coming where we celebrate your birth

And because of you we have hope for peace on Earth

Everything that was written would become true

Who would've thought a little baby could make us all brand new?

Well, there you have it! I hope you enjoyed. Honestly, today has probably been the first time in a couple weeks I've felt hope. My school had exams last week, and I have been nothing but stressed lately.

So, question time!

What are you most looking forward to this Christmas?

Have you decorated yet? I have in my room, but my family hasn't put up our tree or nativity yet. I'm the big Christmas person in our house.

If you live in a place where it snows, has it snowed yet? It has for us, and if we're lucky, we may have a snow day this Friday!

That's all for tonight. Have a goodnight everyone, and merry Christmas twenty days in advance!

Ps. If you're wondering why Angel on my shoulder got taken down, it's because I ended up entering it in a contest and it couldn't be posted here at the same time.
