Paula Swanson Poet Acrostic

Silent Night Acrostic

Soft, the hush, of new fallen snow,
Illuminated by festive lights.
Luster of the star's sweet glow,
Extolling His birth, upon this night.
Nurturing faith, within our hearts,
To each of us, within his sight.

Now, as the midnight bells do start,
Ignore we not, another's plight.
Go into the Christmas season renewed!
Hold onto the love.  Hold on tight,
To the Season, the whole year through.



For the contest; Holiday Acrostic Challenge
