Creator God, a babe in manger born He came to bring relief from hopeless fate Rejoicing was the world that Christmas morn Immanuel had come to banish hate Serene were hearts as baby Jesus smiled Triumphant was the blessed angels’ song Majestic One in earthly form, a child Attested truth that right would triumph wrong Succumb and let the magic touch your soul Messiah’s love accept and let him reign A life of broken dreams can be made whole Gone from your aching heart will be your pain I ask of you to bask in Christmas cheer C ome worship him and feel his love draw near For Andrea Dietrich's Christmas Contest December, 19, 2015

Your sonnet was very well done. The best of the traditional religious ones, in my opinion. BIG Congrats to you. You were in the REAL top ten!!!

I think it has good imagery and I wish you well in the contest.

Really? Thanks ever so much, Rob. That means a lot to me. Andrea is a tough judge. I kept at her till I got a first place in one of her contests.... :) Thanks for the visit.

Writers have come up with some excellent entries and this is no exception. I don't know whether I'll write one or not - it is always up to my muse. I enjoyed this, Eileen - it is in no way contrived to fit the form ... CayCay

Thank you for your words of affirmation, dear. I do try so hard....I love poetry and my weak point is imagery... If you have time...and are interested, you can read about my angst concerning this in my poem Salieri Soliliquy. Hugs, dear.
