Out of all the poems I have, some of them are very special to me. Janet, why can we only pick ONE? I thought of "The Temptress", but that one has been posted and reposted already. There was "A Faded Rose" and "Her Mask", but even though those are most definitely two of my favorites I decided to let those be for now. There was my long one about the Salem witch trials, but that was posted fairly recently. (Sorry guys for rambling so.) This has always been one of my favorites, since the day I wrote it...and it has been posted here under my other aliases. I know it's sort of out-of-season, but it IS very special to me! Shining Light At Christmas time in Bethlehem So many years ago God sent a light to shine day and night And guide us, this we know. Every year at this special time In a winter deep and cold We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ And His story is told. This light will help us all our days In good times and in bad From the day we are born till the day we die Through all the troubles we've had. Life, love, and light, a beacon Of hope to pull us through We need someone to guide us In everything we do. At Christmas time in Bethlehem Nearly two thousand years today God gave us a baby boy named Jesus To guide us on our way. 12-16-98 Elizabeth And this I say to you: why? Why? Just tell me why, so I can understand. Why? |

I dunno... to make it be a challenge...  it is hard to choose tho... thanks for posting this beauty, its easy to see why it inspires you so its lovely. take care, jm PS..you could always post more under your "aliases" who would know LOLI think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |
