Thanks to the Carolers
From Silver Bells to Silent Night

Colored lights amidst the snow
Hearts aglow help melodies flow
to the music of the

Carolers Sing
Every Christmas Eve, the carolers sing
of peace on Earth and goodwill towards Man.
Rejoicing in the news, Angels did bring;
praising Jesus' birth as part of God's plan.
Our Savior came to wash our sins away,
and we acknowledge that love every year.
And celebrate His birthday, Christmas day,
exchanging gifts with the ones we hold dear.
Christmas Day feels different than

Carolers
Lacy snow crystals like a cozy duvet
Cover the ground in winter splendor,
I hear the Christmas carols as they play
On my front lawn, carolers; I will render
Hot chocolate from a local vendor.

Angels and carolers midst lovely lights.
Spicy kitchens, cookies, pumpkin delights.
stars shining down on a calm midnight clear,
we pause to reflect on this fleeting year.
Hanging the tinsel, we try to pretend
our world isn't

Crooning Carolers
Curious children try to catch a glimpse as
Santa's sleigh sails silently and swiftly
Coming closer and closer as Christmas closes in
Exciting everyone eagerly expecting enjoyment
Making mellow music in merriment
Mistletoe magic makes many kiss
Presents placed proudly under the tree as
Flames from the fireplace dance through the night
Shoppers see savings on super

Come list' my dear to Christmas, 'tis the sound
of children's voices ringing soft and dear,
it calls to mind some hope may still be found
within a world that lives in constant fear.

Christmas Windows V - Carolers
As stated before - this is poetry for kids, through the eyes of kids. Kids read poetry too, why
not more writing for them?
It's not so common these days

Just the other night I was looking out my window
