Fields like glistenin' diamonds Are blanketed in snow Gold n' silver packages All tied up with a bow Trees are set in houses The family gathers round Steaming mugs of chocolate The tree top now is crowned Streets of busy people In windows stop to stare Snow shows off its color From festive lights hung there Carolers are singing A Savior's melody Hooves of horse with buggy Complete the symphony Graceful are the skaters Who dance on frozen pond And stir the feathered snow When blade and ice do bond It's a Country Christmas The town folk all are cheered 'Cause on this magic night A miracle appeared < !signature--> <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 11-16-2000).] |

It's so cheery, wintry and Christmasy, I can almost hear sleigh bells ringing and feel Jack Frost stinging my nose. Best of all,I love the ending.."Cause on this magic night a miracle appeared." Beautiful! |
