"THE WHITE ROBE OF NOELLE"

 

The White Robe of Noelle

fell softly as cashmere wool

danced lightly as the finest lace

and settled upon the quaint town

of Christmas old and new

 

Noelle fluttered down the street

Leaving a path of richness behind

A path as elegant as a bride’s train

as majestic as a Queen’s gown

as crisp as a winter’s morn

 

She visited every home

Leaving a spray of her fluffy handprint

on every windowpane she passed

Sometimes a child would wave back

while she blew snowflakes like kisses

 

The church bells rang proudly

as she tapped each stain-glassed window

and  listened while the carolers sang out to her

They greeted her in yuletide glory

Feeling blessed by The White Robe of Noelle

 

She entered the park with a cool breeze in her step

Landing on wooden park benches

Decorating huge leafless trees

Sprinkling birds in flight with white magic

as the rabbits and squirrels watched in awe

 

Then something enchanting happened –

The White Robe of Noelle

blanketed a young couple in a horse-drawn carriage

who giggled and hugged at the sight of her snow dance

as they embraced pure romance from the lovely Noelle

 

Oh Yes, Sweet Noelle has returned once more

She delivered her gifts in the very shadows of the Season

All that she touched awakened anew

She turned darkness into light and stone into gold

as the World welcomed the beautiful Noelle

 

…and The White Robe of Noelle

fell softly as cashmere wool

danced lightly as the finest lace

and settled upon the quaint town

of Christmas old and new
