"Echoes of Christmas"

 

Winter’s frost

brings snowflake bliss

Sparkling mounds

and white-laced kiss

Wildly stretching far and wide

Transcending centuries

Like the ocean’s tide

 

Soon appears Old Father Time

with Winter on his mind

He is charming, he is haunting

and his smile so very kind

He whispers words of Yuletide pride

Each treasure he leaves

is a holiday find

The Spirit of the holiday

Totally enshrined…

 

Echoes of Christmas come alive

Bright lights and holly

White doves arrive

Snow-capped trees

sway with ease

Touched by Angel’s breath

and heaven’s breeze

 

Single candles in lone windows

Wreaths hang on every door

Children and snowmen

out on the lawn

While Grandpa dozes off

for a nap and a snore

 

Huge fireplaces crackle

as wrapped gifts lay in wait

For family and friends

on their Christmas Eve date

Cats and dogs settle down for a bit of a rest

in joyous homes…and truly blessed

 

Santa prepares his magical sleigh

His annual journey just days away

Mrs. Claus plans to join the evening ride

Loyal reindeers at their side

The evening sky will be clear and free

as the Mr. and Mrs. travel with glee

 

The churchbells will ring

Choirs will sing

The world will stop to pray

…For the greatest gift

is the child in the manger…

Lord Jesus was born Christmas Day!
