Joy of Christmas

Joy of Christmas tolls hooray, buoying elation of Santa’s sleigh As celebrating the birth of almighty sacred church bells ring Reverberating in melodic music ~ chiming, jingling merry way Halls of happiness aptly display, glittering décor of golden inlay Where in rhythms of pious hymns carolers gaily dance and sing Joy of Christmas tolls hooray, buoying elation of Santa’s sleigh Around tree’s ornamental arrays children sway, pry, and play While echoing from heartbeats of glory pulses of prayers ding Reverberating in melodic music ~ chiming, jingling merry way Moonlit stars scintillate glaze of silent night’s cheerful-- yay! Streaming themes of angelic euphony, praising heavenly king Joy of Christmas tolls hooray, buoying elation of Santa’s sleigh Boughs of green holly, donning red berries, venerate holy day Conferring glee in blessings of divinity, as spiritual rhythms swing Reverberating in melodic music ~ chiming, jingling merry way Invoking eternity in wreaths of flowers devotees earnestly pray As faithful cling to missives of peace the beloved angels bring Joy of Christmas tolls hooray, buoying elation of Santa’s sleigh Reverberating in melodic music ~ chiming, jingling merry way December 26, 2020 Poem of the day on December 27, 2020 Placed 1st: Deck the halls poetry contest by Joseph May
