Snow Covered Hills

~ Back, slide back, on snow covered hills ~ The child I’d been, glad to begin, Touching mood mirth freely given As we celebrate Christ again. The child I’d been, glad to begin Our family Christmas season. We circle our lush Christmas tree With His love as precious reason. Touching mood mirth freely given Grows memories purely tender. Love does nurture and develop Magical emotional splendor. As we celebrate Christ again We submit faith to time’s embrace So joy may tend a lasting grasp In our hearts place of love’s best face.

Just a lovely tribute & the real reason for the season. Lovely Quatrain that is so well done. Rhyme scheme carefully balanced and I love the snapshots of family & the manner of celebration!

Well my French language says that the contest is about Returning. Retourne means Returns, in French (Retournau). I'd love to do it but it would have to stay open until Friday eve.! I'm wishing you a nice win with this!

So nicely done, Caycay!!! It is very smooth and flowing and I hope just what she is looking for. My lines on mine are nearly double yours!! (haven't posted it yet, but soon)

Hey - for some reason, I kept my lines at 8 syllables - but, I don't remember if the contest called for it. I look forward to reading your French Retourne and I thank you for stopping by to read mine. Always a pleasure ... CayCay
