Christmas      

A special event
announced by the bells:
a child was born in extreme poverty
Nineteen hundred and fifty three years
have passed from the day of His birth.
Too long ago it has happened,
but no one can forget
that it is a day of peace
because Life has really began!

 

This poem was writen by
Brazilian poet Vinícius de Morais, Christmas 1953.
