A Child's Christmas

Crystal flakes decorate her long tresses As rosy eyes wishes for a necklace, With golden cross to recall Christmas’ magic On seventh year; up high, she lifts her face. Enchanted, fireworks line across the clouds Upon her body fairy stardust glitter; Pixie wings glide by, molding snow angels As she joins dances of frost-wanderers. Atop the tree, Godmother Mary drifts Hands beaming in trinkets from heaven’s shawl Lucent the night with thousand winks of stars, While a babe’s eyes frame her young neck, enthralled. In a gush, fairy angels bid goodbye To disappear in sweet,Bethlehem sky! Shadow Hamilton's A Child's Christmas Contest 12/27/2013

The wonder of Christmas from a child's point of view shines through but so does the deeper meaning, that we are all made of the same stuff and exist in many forms.You took this to a new level! Fairies and angels, totally unique!

To see innocence through a child's eyes is enchanting. This poem goes farther than ordinary realms of hope and symbolisms of things heavenly.Supreme, Nette

I hope you had a very awesome Christmas Nette! I didn't get the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas but I will right now wish you a great Happy New Year! This poem is full of Christmas magic, the kind only pixies and the Godmother Mary can bring! The child dreams of grandiosity and beauty that we can only wish we could imagine! But you captured the moment right here within your delectable poem my friend! What a gorgeous piece, Great Work!!
