Angels in the Snow

Snowy Christmas scene, kids bundled up...mittens, scarves...they fall to the ground, giggling...flapping arms and scissoring legs...one most enduring symbol of Christmas: Angels in the Snow

Poets writing presents under wordless

Christmas trees,

Children stringing tinsel on their

Future memories.

Candles burning amber under wreaths of

Whispered joy,

Smiles and tears stand huddled ‘round a

Manger and a Boy.

 

Gath’ring ‘round your loved ones brings a

Sparkle to your eyes,

Peace and love embrace you as the

Choirs harmonize.

Tender warmth and wishes follow

Everywhere you go…

Lighted by the guidance of the

Angels in the Snow.

jesserose, The idea of kids (me included) frolicking in the snow, embodying the spirit of angels inspires a writing 50 years later is somehow willfully engaging and engaging a spark spelled Christmas. Thank you so much for your read/review. take care...dan
