Steemit Poetry Contest #9 — Christmas / New Year

DONUM
Gifts, give and take
O Lord, why would a gift not be given to me?

Each day is a little life
Every waking and rising a little birth
Every fresh morning a little youth
Every going to rest and sleep a little death.

But no complacency, bitter
Yes, and now I'm given the donum,
filled with the joy of the world
A life becomes the donum.

Living for each day, a new chapter
A new sign and wonder
My hands hunger for the donum
Alas! my soul seeks.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in Advance
