Notes About The Poem

This Poem was inspired by one of my most treasured friends. She is always there lifting my spirits when life brings me down and is also nuts about Christmas. So this is for my little Christmas angel Cathrine. 

 

My Christmas Angel

Sweet as Christmas candy cane 
She takes away my pain 

Embellishes low spirts 
Then she’ll crystallise the rain 

With care, wraps up my anguish 
Topped off with festive bow 

Ensures there’s room within her inn 
When I have no place to go 

She jingles my bells when I’m going through hell

turns my tears into to snow flakes 
With her jovial spell 

Illuminates darkness with twinkling lights
embraces me warmly When Jack Frost bites

She’s a gift of the very highest degree 
My Angel 
My star
Adorning my tree 

The most precious of baubles 
Such a Yuletide time cracker
She can loose herself in this seasonal Chatter

She disperses my worries 
and breaks them all down 

They don’t seem so huge
As they fall to the ground 

Like a magical snow globe 
She shakes up my sadness 

She’s my sparkling tinsel 
and fills me with gladness 

My dearest of friends who I treasure so deeply 

Always thinking of others 
and sings oh so sweetly 

The tune of this heavenly holy night
Sprinkling hope as saint Nicholas takes his flight.
