Angel A Christmas Poem

Poem by G. Edward Warren

Church bells ring as carolers sing the dancing gingerbread man's a magical thing

1

Like wondering how marvelous angel wings begin as you stare at the snow piling up to your chin

3

Just dive in and swim the backstroke with glee kick your heels together in rhythm merrily

5

White wings will unfold as wide as a bow Ah, no better way to play in the snow!

7

Now run to the forest and find a winter tree tall as a polar bear, green as the sea

9

Adorn it with rainbows, tinsel and treats remember don't step on the gifts at your feet

11

Those mysteries tied up with ribbons of joy soon will be unwrapped with surprises galore

13

Just wait 'til that morning after Santa drops by your heart will be full, you'd think you could fly

15

Then later you'll nap, snuggling up with a new toy and dream of a love that brings you great joy

17

Like three wise men who celebrated Jesus's birth bringing gifts of frankincense, gold and mirth

19

As a star shined above sparkly and bright announcing God's greatest gift that wondrous night

21

Asleep in a manger of straw for a bed with angel wings fluttering overhead

23

While the cow chewed hay, the donkey brown oats his mother's pure love nurtured his growth

25

For the heart to blossom true and kind so Jesus's love for you would outlast time

27

Now cherish these festive celebrations within memories that gather again and again

29

Collecting Christmases like treasured old clocks that year after year chime tick-tock

31

Oh, how lovely church bells ring as carolers sing And what joy those angel wings do bring!

33

Watching your child roll around in the snow just as you did many Christmases ago.
