Poem Title:
Poem
It happened every Christmas eve As stars gleamed down And moon glowed with tenderness Softly whispered On the silence of the night Breathless joy, flavored in hope Brought alive by the wonder Of this Christmas Eve A little tree glimmered Lit by crimson and emerald Dressed up in silver icicles Worn by branches so dazzling They seemed to erase every fear Whisper giving through the ornaments Glazed with inspiration and peace Laughing like kindness dancing Through hearts who believe In this babe in a manger This light to all creation This night when we await The celebration of our King Gifts were wrapped in pretty paper Hues of sparkling gold and scarlet Graced with ribbons in vivid shades All threaded together beneath the tree Where giggling cousins sat waiting The moment when these presents Would be given out to each member Of a family blended with hope and faith Shining smiles moistened by grace As hearts raced, enthusiastic and elated By the moments of festive spirits Filled with kindness and exhilaration Joy reflected from souls who know The One who we celebrate is pure love As the gifts were distributed The merriment collected on thoughts And cheer penetrated the heart Where we all knew the meaning of Christmas is more than pretty ribbons Presents and trees and festiveness The meaning of Christmas is found In the heart who has complete faith In the One who came to bring each one A second chance, a new hope, a love That would pour out a sparkling joy Lighting the entire world with His glory! The Christmas memory that captivates My heart - still… is the love that came down When this child first shared His spirit The spirit of Christmas is here with us Living inside every soul who believes sincerely!
