This Christmas Night

Wishing you all a peaceful holiday filled with love and laughter

  

One single star

Shines brighter then the rest

Illuminating this silent night

Sending streaks of silver light

Across the land

Like a bell ringing a quiet prayer

Of peace and happiness

For all mankind.

 

Blissful snow

Blankets the earth

Like the layer of clouds

On heaven’s floor.

All the people walking along

Like angels spreading tidings

Of peace and love

To strangers and loved ones.

 

The moon creates its own

Holiday magic through a lunar glow

That reflects off the snow

Giving the trees the gift

Of showing off their festive green

With a shimmering pride.

 

So now all is calm

All is bright

On this holiest of nights.

I’m wishing you all

Endless health and happiness

Throughout your lives

As we celebrate the sprit of Christ.

Wow this was well written! Very beautiful. I must say you held me through out the whole poem to the start to the very end. I love seasonal poetry, it makes me connected to nature. You did a great job of painting the picture for me with your words. Thanks!

This is a powerful message, you encapsulated the reason for the season very well here. Powerful stuff.

There is something so magical about Christmas Dale and you have certainly covered the beauty of 'goodwill toward man' here. The phrasing is superb as are the sentiments and strong message...so beautiful, I wish it could be an all year round feeling for everyone.
I hope your Christmas is as happy as mine *Hugs*

A warm and sentimental write on a cold night that hits the spot. You have a knack for this type of poetry. You should check out publishing info on christmas card boxes and send them some samples. Merry Christmas my west coast friend :)

This is a great poem expressing your Christmas cheer to those around you. I love how you ended this poem and it has a very happy yet calm feeling about it all the way to the end and well Merry Christmas to you.

Your poem reflects the true spirit of Christ here, in my opinion. Everything you mention in your poem are gifts of nature and are so lovely (and are free as well.) Your poem also gently introduces Christ to those who don't know Him through your words of beauty. Even those "blinded with science" will probably feel their heart jump after immersing themselves in the wonder of your gorgeous poem!

What a lovely Christmas poem. The imagery in it creates a wonderful scene as I read it. Beautiful and peaceful. Nice way to remind us what Christmas is really about. Written with great rhymes and flow.

Dale you have penned one wonderfully heart felt poem, that is Truly Outstanding. I thank you for the sentiment. I would like to return the same wishes for you, and all of yours. Merry Christmas Dale, and may God Bless You.
