I dedicate this poem to Janet Marie


Christmas! Christmas!

Christmas! Christmas! Fill me up
To brim of true contentment’s cup
Shine light of joy into my eyes
Of visions echoed from the skies

Pluck angel harps into the night
Shine glory down from starry light
Announce once more the blessed birth
With hymns of praise and joy and worth

Christmas ! Christmas! Fill my heart
Let only love from lips depart
Ring bells of joy at every door
Let music from the chapel pour

Allow the dove his song release
And wing the earth with love and peace
And let this love to all explain
A candle in the window pane

Christmas! Christmas! Bring me cheer
And all my loved ones gathered near
Let crystal snow clouds gently break
Surrounding me with downy flake

Glaze the night of Christmas eve
With faith and tenets I believe
Then let me sit beside the tree
And find a present just for me

Elziabeth Santos

This is wonderful, I could almost hear it as a song.  I know she loves it. Thank you, Elizabeth and Merry Christmas.
