Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Quatrain

Twas the Night Before Christmas

   "Twas The Night Before Christmas"



'twas the night before Christmas day 
Angel voices rehearsing
sinners preparing brand new way
as "Good News" began dispersing.

blue indigo sky glowing starlight
to guide three wise men to new babe
by one brilliant star beaming so bright
welcome, Christ the King, who would save.

on a cold Christmas Eve of snow
shepherds adored in straw stable
His humble birth would greatness grow
the Word made flesh is no fable.

'twas the night before Christmas morn
peace on Earth good will to all
at midnight the Son of God born
Merry Christmas who follow His call.


*For Kim Merryman's Here We Go Caroling Contest.
