“I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all year.” Charles Dickens

Joy to the World Joyful angels around the Infant King Ode to God's only Son in chorus sing Yonder He lies; one day peace He will bring To a weary world filled with scattered sheep On journeys from valleys to mountains steep Teetering with clumsy foot on their way Hovering for safety, sadly they bray Each meanders for many a day We can rejoice, the Son of God appears Ordained by God, we can't believe our ears Resounding exultation amid cheers Loudly praising, joy can't hold back the tears Declaring the Babe's music of the spheres

What a beautiful, joyful message of delight and hope, Sara! I love acrostics and you did a marvelous and masterful job of crafting this one. The the concept of the "scattered sheep" "teetering!" Such a vibrant image. If this is for a contest, best wishes! Thank you for this eloquent reminder of the "reason for the season!" This brought joy into my day! Sending you blessings of hope, peace, love and joy!

This is a great poem, dear Sara. At times like this, our hearts long for the presence of our loved ones who have passed on. Thankfully, we are fortunate to have treasured memories that stay with us. My friend, your use of vivid imagery to express yourself is astounding.

Beautiful poem of truth, love and joy, love it :??Isaiah? ?9:6? ?NIV?? [6] For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
