Hello eStory,

This is a marvelous Christmas poem with the church singing "silent night" on the inside. The words are so lovely of Christmas morning at the church. You truly captured this beautiful time of the year which is Christmas. I really enjoyed reading from beginning to the end. It is really a time to celebrate the hope of the world. It is all about Christ Jesus. God bless you and your writing. Thanks. Nicely done.

    Thanks so much for the excellent review and your wonderful comments supporting the poem. I wanted to keep it simple with that image of the children playing the Nativity scene, and the angels glittering in the stars on a snowy night. Glad you enjoyed it and feel free to read the rest of the book in my portfolio estory

My apologies for no sixes! This is so pure and pristine in its loveliness! One could easily visualize this. NO visual necessary. Good thinking on your part. We all want these moments to return and they will. Let's hang on and pray and hope. Exceptionally beautiful in its simplicity.

Hello my friend

Beautiful spiritual poem for Christmas. It reminded me of Christmas Eve Mass in Spain when I was a little girl. It's good memories. Thank you for that. Well done.

    Thanks so much for the wonderful words of support and that Christmas memory. I am glad the poem was able to bring that to life for you. I wanted to keep it simple, simple images of faith, the children playing the Nativity, the angels glittering in the stars on a snowy night. It comes from a memory of a cold, starry Christmas Eve in New York about 45 years ago...estory

This is a beautiful scene that you have captured in verse. (Our Christmas in Australia is very different, but still (for Christians at least) based on the essential story of the birth of the Saviour). Love the traditional meaningful Christmas hymns and carols. Blessings to you and your loved ones.
