Hello There Poet Rondeau

Notes About The Poem

A Gift Beyond Compare

Where steeples reach to touch the sky 
and faithful bow their heads in prayer, 
a wondrous sound fills wintry air 
as choirs sing “Angels on High”. 

Exalted words take wing and fly; 
good tidings are for all to share 
where steeples reach to touch the sky 
and faithful bow their heads in prayer. 

The morning of His birth is nigh; 
each celebrates a Love so rare – 
one precious Gift beyond compare! 
His presence cannot be denied 
where steeples reach to touch the sky.
