A Passing Friend

Peace on Earth, good will toward men,
Extend a hand to greet a friend,
Till time doth part the Heavens and sea,
On waves about, you'll float with thee.
A benevolent sign of angels above,
The cooing sound of a sighing dove,
Upon branch of olive, below the moon,
Mournfully it sings its tune.
Upon high quotes your soul its due,
The angels hark a song from you,
Sung of deed and merit won,
Of the King, of the Son.
The twinkle of a star above,
A messenger of light and love,
Peace on Earth, good will toward men,
Until my friend, we meet again.

You're right, Sunshine. Alot of my previous poetry which I posted throughout Passions was either dark, sad, or a mixture of emotions. Typical teen syndrome, I think  
This one I wrote recently. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

With reference to the gathering of angels and the twinkle of the star, your poem reminds me a little of the birth of Christ. And of course the quote, "Peace on Earth, good will toward men..." I can't think of any better friend to meet again them Him.

This is a beautiful poem, Amanda. I'm glad that you and your poetry have gotten a little happier!

Thank you for this beautifully written poem of hope. Look in Luke 2:13,14; This is the same praise the angels sung to the shepherds abiding in the field when Jesus was born. Great message!

Lady S,
  The advent of the divine as He enters our lives, and even our poetry is as the angels sang --Peace on earth, goodwill to men--
A wonderfully uplifting piece here. David
