Christmas Bells

I woke to such a mighty peal And asked the vicar: “ What’s the deal? I think it’s best To let me rest. With PEACE on earth, goodwill to men!” *Inspired by Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for Deb's contest

But where is the goodwill? Wish those bells could instill the feeling. Nice verse Jack.

I LIKE IT!! GREAT way to do her contest, Jack. I added to my snow poem. Decided to put a beginning to it since I felt the original already felt like an "ending."
