What a gift--your mother's gift to Rebecca and your poem to FS. I enjoyed reading this, Roy. Your lines are smooth with good end rhymes. The message is clear, too. Your mother was a great spiritual influence on her family.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

This is precious in word and deed. Your mom was apparently talented. I did not realize the scene was knitted until I read the author's notes. Your poem is crafted with love and gratefulness and is a perfect specimen for Christmas.
No thought of rest could cool the coal that burnt so deep within her soul....my favorite part. This could relate to family love, drive or our love for the Lord. I love how you always turn all poems to the tune of, God is great. Your light shines brightly and I am sure your mom is proud of you.

What a beautifully written poem and what a precious treasure to be given knitted by your mothers loving hands. Your poem has so much meaning a beautiful flow and rhyme scheme. I absolutely love the nativity scene your mom knitted.

What a cherished heirloom this must be. Such grand memories and stories to tell every time it is set out.

Your poem told the story perfectly... and explained the reason for the story to have such importance.

Well done.

I love the stories behind your poems, Roy! :) This one is so heartfelt. Your mom was very gifted with her hands as she created love to be cherished through the years. I'm sure your daughter loves them. Homemade gifts are always my favorite. I cherish how someone puts thought, time, and love into a gift.
Thank you for sharing here.

Always your fan,
Shana :)

Your lovely, skillfully written poem is deeply reverent and moving. It smoothly and expressively ties together the most precious scene of all time to a grandmother's loving use of her time to depict it.

What I liked about this is that it reminded me of my mother, and all the work she put in to make the Christmas we enjoyed as kids. Wrapping all those presents, setting up the manger scene, putting out her angel collection. My mother liked angels, and at the end she had a collection of over fifty of them. estory

Oh wow, six stars for Mum's handiwork! I crochet as well, nothing that elaborate, so I can truly appreciate the effort she must have put into that Nativity.

Six stars for the tender and well written poem as well. A wonderful tribute to your mother and to our Savior.

Take care,
Rhonda
