Christmas 1

By JoffreEssley

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Christmas greetings from the Essley home Christmas warmth from a Christmas tome. Warmth from your floor to your rafters above and flowing over to all you love. May your wassail be hot, and your pudding sweet and your groaning board be filled with meat, with friends enough to leave it bare and all your joy and laughter share. Never a word that's spoken ill, but peace on earth and God's good will. Let your feast of love be a time to remember the reason we gather each year in December. Before the fire or around the tree gather the children upon your knee and tell the story how God came down to a lowly stall in a little town, and shattered the walls between heaven and earth with a virgin's travail and a baby's birth. Then let God's love, which gives us cheer, precede your steps throughout the year.December 3 1995, Written December 13th, 2001 © on Dec 13 2001 08:32 AM PST   0 • 13
