Christmas Sonnet

 

 

Christmas Sonnet

Today's hopes are reborn in the new star,
In Bethlehem, a King to us is born,
We saw its gleaming in the fields afar,
What a merry, glorious Christmas morn'!

For way too many years it was no light,
For way too many years, just dark and fear,
We lost our hope in the cold, endless night,
The Light of The World is finally here.

Emmanuel, today God is with us,
A baby cry broke all the heavy chains,
Emmanuel, today God is with us,
Our Lord, our Mighty King, forever reigns.

Today Jesus was born in Bethlehem,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Amen!

Watching Over Me at Christmas

It’s snowing beautifully outside
crystals are flying everywhere,
The streets are covered in bright white,
and love is in the air,

Frozen windows tremble
when happy carolers are passing by,
White angels, disguised in snowflakes
are dancing in the sky.

I’m snuggled up, all warm and cozy
by my fireplace, inside,
The sound of burning wood,
a melody so peacefully, so sublime,

I’m reading The Christmas Story,
by the candlelight,
A smiling star waving at me,
whispers good night, good night...

Crumbs of stars from above
sifts blessings over my house and my dreams,
Watching over me at Christmas, The Love
in heavenly splendor gleams.
