'Twas the night before Christmas and I was awed by this pleasant sight: JOY blurted mirth of blissful delight Cheering HOPE to spread good wishes’ light While FAITH props merriment upon truth-insight Inviting PEACE to march with them upward victory-height! ‘Twas the night before Christmas and there was I beholding in amazement: Values like GOODNESS and KINDNESS sharing their glad engagement In distributing goodies with GRACE of helpfulness’ involvement Along PATIENCE extending persistent endearment Midst MEEKNESS in showing long suffering’s investment! ‘Twas the night before Christmas and I was exposed to the venue’s elegance: Where I spotted LOVE wrapping presents with great abundance Assisting was GENEROSITY whistling sweetly, devoid of arrogance With them were GRATEFULNESS and PRAISE in their jovial extravagance Being instructed by PRUDENCE and WISDOM thru their principles’ radiance! ‘Twas the night before Christmas and I couldn’t wait to see grand festivity Which the Christmas Author would reveal to me with faith’s certainty In His compassion, He packed all those VIRTUES inside His SON’s humanity Born* as the SAVIOUR with GOD’s gift of life everlasting and triumph’s surety Assured to all for owning and sharing toward eternity! *Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. November 23, 2018 7th place, "The Night Before..." Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May; judged on 12/8/2018.
