Poem Title:
Poem
'Twas the night before Christmas of sheer delight As hospital nurses beamed with joyful zest To cheer mothers in their delivery quest Assisting them to labor devoid of fright. Pretty nurse kept singing “Silent Night” midst bliss Hoping festive serenity to prevail Against screams of first time moms who did wail Then “Joy to the World” echoed, no one could miss. Mindful nurse greeted her patients with smile’s glow Relieving them from tensions of birthing pains Humming “Christ the Savior is born” for peace gains Toward baby-cries announcing blessings’ flow. Diligent nurse gladly fulfilled duty-vow Checking temperature and blood pressure rise In her “Merry Christmas; just relax” advice “Your precious gift* from God is to arrive now.” Excited nurse remains jubilant as well Guessing babes’ names jibing with Christmas time As “Jessie, Christine, Angelique” of sweet chime Or “Emmanuel, Joseph, Chris” oh, divine bell. Expectant nurse gave thankful sigh --- since there she was Anticipating answers to prayer list Knowing that God grants best that faith can’t resist… Then she had bouncing twins that festive Christmas. *James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. December 12, 2022 1st place, "The Night Before Christmas 3" Rhyme Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Joseph May; judged on 12/23/2022.
