i love the quietness of Christmas < !signature-->when the day is fast asleep watching snowflakes skate over rink of window pane not even a sparrows little peep the chorus of the firelight singing a lullaby i love the quietness of Christmas and one piece left of pecan pie the glimmer of a star shining through the drapes reminds me of the reason Christmas we celebrate reminds me of presents frankincense, gold and myrrh.. three wise men following that shining star to welcome the baby Jesus in a manger of straw i love the quietness of Christmas watching the snowflakes fall wrapped upon the couch wrapped in grandmoms prayer shawl A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 12-07-2000).] |

Quiet moments amid the holiday rush are the ones when we are able to hear the voice of the one we celebrate HIS birth. Nice read. |

 As I read your poem, I can hear my favorite Bing Crosby tune come to life... "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas... Just like the ones I used to know... May your days be merry and bright... And may all your Christmas' be white. I love how snow brings the world to a quiet hush... Kind of what I imagine it would be like to stand before the newborn Christ child. Lovely images that your poem has left we with today. God Bless You and Merry Christmas, Bob <>< |

You sure are bringing a quietness to the soul with your writing. It brings back to mind one I wrote last year, as I was outside shoveling snow, and the peace and quiet and stillness was just awesome. As the snowflakes fell, I just had to lay back in it all and wonder at the beauty. <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |

So wise you are to enjoy the quietness of the season, reflecting on our Saviors birth. I can just see you all cuddled up in Grandmom's shawl taking in the beauty of the night through the window. Very nice. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Rae |
