Christmas
Angel!
Angel-envoy
proclaim to shepherd peaceful night
Huddled
close in honor of eternal spiritual sight
Come
Savior-man as midnight-star journey ceased
Christ
Jesus virgin-born in yonder holy stable East
Winged-messenger
heaven-sent trumpeted the Way
To
Mary-Joseph lodge where sacred precious baby lay
Innkeeper
kindly provide poor family shelter sleep
Unknowingly
allowed Babe to rustic manger keep
Sentinel-guard
stood watch ’til hinted morning dawn
As
Cherubim and Seraphim harmonized celestial song
God’s
Son came so man may live forever and a day
Simply
emulate Jesus necessary to every evil slay
Jesus’
own protector to aid him on the journey far
Just
follow God like angel did bring Christmas star
So
special-blessed the winged-one given to announce His birth
Great
day! Indeed! Truly challenge perfect holy humble worth
Angel-guardian
pray, too, that he will someday be---
Assigned
some holy task that is not guarding…”me”!
And,
when time comes to make a sacred spiritual choice
Pure
heart prevail Truth speak with non-pernicious voice
Within
each gift-event enjoy adventure daily foray
Refuse
be serious in awesome childlike fun and play
Sands
of time seem slow through narrow neck of glass
Surely
flow to distant shore white-crest time does pass
Expectant
wide-eyed innocent wonder seeking just to find
Each
sunshine-rise promise “Christmas”-again sublime
Amen!
Merry
Christmas!
