Christmas Magic

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

Rob Carmack Date: 12/19/2015 11:19:00 AM I think it has good imagery and I wish you well in the contest. Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 12/19/2015 11:30:00 AM 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.

CayCay Jennings Date: 12/19/2015 10:11:00 AM 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 ...

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.
