Christ In Christmas

The sound of silver bells

Radiates off the purity

Of fresh falling snow,

Spreading an aura of peace

Across God’s blessed land.

 

Tis a beautiful sight to behold

For the white flakes dance with grace

Like an angel flying toward Earth,

The ringing has the serenity

Of praise being uplifted to Jesus.

 

As midnight’s chime

Announces Christmas’ arrival

The spirit of Christ is born again

In a manger comprised of

Mankind ‘s prayers

Not yet touched by the light of heaven.

A beautiful image of Christmas. I love the idea of a manger build of prayers...Christ coming to fill it...

This is so lovely and those last two lines are beatific. It is always good to remember the reason for the season. Thank you for sharing that.

Your words are breathtakingly beautiful with the full and Holy message of the Christmas season!! This is just absolutely wonderful........and a favorite of mine!! I think this is among the best, if not the best poem I have ever read of yours!!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so very much Hillbilly Pearl, I am happy that you liked it that much.

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, I did Dale..........it is truly a beautiful poem that really exclaims the joy of Christmas and the love within your heart for our Savior!

[Sheila Kline]

Dale, I have been printing some of my poems on 5x7 photos and having them printed through Wal-Mart. I would love to do this one for you and send it to you.......let me know if it would be okay, and if so, what name you would sign it. I have done a couple and they are coming out very nice - quite surprised at how clear they are on a glossy print! I also did one on a 4x6 and it is also very easy to read! This is a new project/venture for me. I really do love your poem!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Oh wow, that would be really wonderful of you… I am speechless at the gesture. So yes.

[Sheila Kline]

It's on its way to you in jpeg format.........please check you email.

Dale, this is beautifully appropriate for this season. You wrote an amazing Christmas Yuletide poem that makes me ache for a place by the fire to roast marshmellows and snuggle up next to the Christmas tree. Beautiful!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much sweetie, appreciate the very positive feedback of my words.

[MsJewel]

[Fran Marie]

A beautiful piece here..Jesus is the reason for the season...a seasonal spirit of Christ in Christmas. to have peace and goodwill on earth..great pen...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes he is the reason for the season and we should never forget that… thanks so much Fran.

[Max64]

Thank you for sharing. I live in a warm, sunny state, and at times, Christmas is just a sales marker ... lost in bustle, a reminder for the 'reason' is very welcome.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes I live in a state that is generally warm and it makes some not appreciate the real reason for this holiday.

[WhiteWillow]

This is perfect! A quiet reminder of the true spirit of the holiday season, no matter what religion you practice. I think everyone can relate to your images of peace and serenity.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind review of my work.
