Love, the Gift

Oh Christmas Angel, fly to me
             And rest upon my Christmas tree
On high atop the branches green
            Your grace to decorate the scene

With memories of years gone by
            Of those we miss gone to the sky
Please send our love in every way
             As we prepare for Christmas day

Oh Christmas Angel bathed in light
                To guide us on this Silent Night
In gratitude for what remains
          We share, yet not just earthly gains 

For love the gift is one that keeps
             Though often wisdom of it sleeps
And yet it shines in joy sublime
                    Especially at Christmas time

An awesome Christmas story about an angel you would love to visit and rest on your Christmas tree, what an angelic thought. I hope you had a blessed, peaceful and fun day on the 25th and my wishes for you and your lovely family for 2023 would be that all your dreams come to fruition, as well as good health. Hugs Jennifer. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
