Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Terza Rima

- Peace, Love, And Gods Greatest Gift -

The mellifluous musical tones of the village bells

Echoing chimes over the cold snowcapped mountains

Both finding their way to people in the valley below

Christmas songs — let your spirit sing freely and loudly

Welcoming the Birth of Our Savior and Baby King

Who so charms the Angels on High and God Himself

On this night, The Star was so beautiful, clear, and shiny

Crisp and so crystal-bright, centered above and beyond

Reflecting now the Lord God’s most divine and holy light

There is real magic in the night air as Heaven rejoices aloud

The child and the infant’s divine soul breathe life now intently

Fulfilling truly God’s very promise and His hope to Mankind

Keep this Christmas spirit — share it with others near and far

Grace filled with good tidings as we dance on wings of joy

We all now celebrate in great happiness, love, and kindness

Christmas is forever — and you must never ever close this door

Faith always enters, carrying His guiding torch high and proud

And encouraging Man every step of the way on his long journey

Even in a simple cradle where the Baby Jesus so innocently lay

Heaven doth bathe His cradle with the warmest rays of divine light

Bespeaking the heavenly beauty, joy, and wonder of Our Savior

Amazing peace makes a lovely gift, I wish for all of us to have

As new life blossoms, wrapped in petals of an immaculate heart

God’s holy blessing, love, and intention are clear for all to see

That Holy Night the Angels entire sang mirthfully on Christmas Eve

Praising Almighty Lord God in Heaven on the birth of His only son

The Angels’ paeans echoed in their divine beauty across the Universe

To bring peace now, glowing with your love, is His divine intention

Rejoicing in God’s Greatest Gift to Mankind who was born in a manger

Destined to become Our Most Holy and Divine Savior — Amen! Amen!

James Long July 14, 2020 at 2:50 PM The only way that we are any different, is in just exactly how we hone each of our individual talents with our Creator entrusted to us by Him together with everyone, and with all life! All aimed in the direction of our "Consistent and Continuing" support for one another as we surrender this effort "All" away to our Creator, to all life, to ourselves, to a foe, or to a friend, child, woman, or man, within whatever country! All advancing within the "Blessed Infinity" of this very moment! Gary Bateman May 18, 2023 at 5:06 PM Hello James, You are exactly right here by what you say. Each of us are entrusted with certain individual talents by the direction of our Creator, that is, Almighty God Himself. In the end, God defines the "Blessed Infinity" of the moment you speak of. Cheers and Best, Gary
