CayCay Godwin Poet Quatrain

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.

Edlynn Nau November 11, 2015 at 12:38 PM 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! Edlynn Nau November 11, 2015 at 9:14 PM 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!
