The Christmas Star

Winter time is over the mountains
come yuletide season again.
Caught now in time, these frozen fountains
that drop to waterfalls end.

The skies have seen the last of the geese,
they’ve flown to warmth miles away.
And trees are all but stripped of their leaves
as they sleep these winter days.

Christmas Time comes to us once again
and it’s just moments away.
Reminders of God’s goodness to men
is about us every day.

Hope kindles new in the hearts of those
who”follow the Star” this season.
They’ll know freedom from a life of woes
and Jesus is their reason.

So at this special time of year
be sure there’s room at the inn.
Unto you the Christmas Star draws near
and will ALWAYS lead to Him.

If we follow the light, we will never be lost, Doug. Hope we can remember that year-round. This is beautifully written with excellent meter and rhyme as well as an uplifting spiritual message. Well done! Much love, Carolyn
