Peaceful Dreams

Hitched a ride on a reindeer last night
As Northern Lights painted the sky
On top of a manger below
The most heavenly star cast its glow
In the frosty air, voices I heard
The angelic choir spreading God’s word

     “On this Christmas Morn, a Savior is born”

When the snow finally started to fall
I had visions of peace for us all
Every nation had faith, hope and joy
There was love for each girl and each boy
But when I woke, things were not as they’d seemed
Can we only find peace in our dreams

     “There’ll be no crisis; no talk of ISIS
     On this Christmas morn, a Savior is born”

Michelle Mac Donald Date: 11/2/2016 4:38:00 AM A beautifully inspirational write, Carolyn! 'Arthur vaso' has very much summed this up...begins with 'thoughts of kindness', which becomes a 'pay it forward' movement. Loving this poem! Hugs, Mikki :) Login to Reply

Arthur Vaso Date: 11/1/2016 9:55:00 PM Peace starts with thoughts of kindness, then words of kindness, then poems of kindness, and then a small kind gesture here and there, if we can bring peace around us, we can surely spread it. I loved this poem! Login to Reply

Elaine George Date: 11/1/2016 3:22:00 PM What a beautiful message you have conveyed, Carolyn. I take long walks on the beach and through the forest every day to free my mind from the horrors still going on in this world. It is so nice to see your beautiful face again and read your uplifting poetry. Your old friend, Elaine (Lainey) Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/1/2016 3:44:00 PM Glad to be back, Lainey.
