Christmas Poem 2019
To the editor:
Take a walk down Candy Cane Lane
Through spiral twists and turns,
End with a crooked staff
In sugared steam of cocoa stirred.
Snow globe magic surrounds the home
Glossed in Christmas glimmer,
Caroler’s bells echo
As hot chocolate starts to simmer.
Manger scenes under Christmas trees
Dressed in festive fashion,
Rainbow eyes of children
Wait in haste for reindeer action.
Sweet peppermint bark confections
Breath that whispers a chill,
Cinnamon sticks of spice
And gingerbread cookies that thrill.
Ornaments of silver and gold
Wreaths full of rightful praise,
Laughter under mistletoe
With frosty noel nights ablaze.
Let every child that dwells on earth
Stand up, stand up and sing,
Out of all doubt he comes
Behold the Christ child now is king!
