Red Berries on Holly Trees

Winter Birds rest on branches of my heart...

Once upon a Midnight clear... I saw the light... 

A Star shone down through the Sky...  gathered 

in clusters of singing Carols where long ago 

there was a field where Shepherds watched 

their Sheep and Wise Men traveled from 

afar to bring Frankincense and Myrrh to place 

beneath a Manger where a new born King lay 

in the light of a Star... We sing Hallelujah and 

Silent Night as Mothers and Fathers remember 

the Holy Night... where Mother Mary gave birth 

to the new born King... we light our Candles and Pray...

Dear Pat. I am honoured to be your first caller. You remind us of the true meaning of Christmas by sharing a wonderful nativity scene. It is a time of year more than any to show goodwill towards our fellow earth travelers. Not forgetting our avian friends who give us so much joy and inspire wonderful metaphors for our poetry. There is a great deal of love in this poem. Such an uplifting read Pat. Thank you dearly.

dear darling Chris... it is a little past six am on the East Coast of the USA. Not certain of the time in the United Kingdom. Thanks for your gentle touch of Christmas Joy. I am in Awe of Babies with their intricate Spirit that is Holy and pure. The story of Bethelem lingers through the Ages and is a Life to be
Fashioned by... the Beatitudes and the Sermon in the amount and so many other highlights. May your days be spent in moments of Love and Devotion. Have a blessed Christmas... gently, Pat

The Sermon on the Mount and all the Poetry in the Psalms. gently, Pat

It is 11.30 am. I have just finished putting the baubles on our Christmas tree. You are an early riser dear Pat. Sending you love and special greetings for this time of year. Who can resist a nativity scene, not me. It takes me back to childhood days with my parents and four siblings. Take good care of you and your Roger. Keep safe and warm.

In a World where we believe in destiny
where Stars still shine and Reverence reigns,
we stand in awesome Wonder as the Snow falls
and Herald Angels sing Peace on Earth...
