One Silent Night |

+*+*+*+ One silent night, when all was still, in snowfall soft, I walked Church Hill. Bathed in glow of lamplight shining, shone Tudor homes with ivy twining. The cedar boughs hung low with snow, were lit with lights that made them glow. The air was sweet and fresh to breathe, each door was hung with Christmas wreath. Gray plumes of smoke rose in the air, from homes of olde down lane way fair. A Hallmark scene, serene and lush, this Christmas Eve of calming hush. One silent night, when all was still, in snowfall soft, I walked Church Hill. +*+*+*+ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (12-16-2003 11:45 PM).] |
