Love the happy note in which the poem ends.

"This Christmas marks the day I came alive
And now in its enlightenment I'll stay."

Thanks for sharing. All the best for the contest.

This is a beautiful poem that I really enjoyed reading. It has great flow and rhyme with meter that flows well off the tongue, you've done a great job! I love your reference to the senses through and feeling and listening to them it real brought the poem alive.
Well done and good luck with the contest.
Best Wishes

This is a lovely poem. When I saw the title I was not sure where it would lead. There are some beautiful lines and ideas here. Thanks for sharing your work. I hope to read more of it.

An excellent entry for the Christmas poetry contest. I might be nisunderstanding but it sounds like you are saying that you found Jesus and became a Christian on Christmas day one year in the past. i apologize if I am getting that wrong. Either way, it is a lovely poem with a great story.

    Thanks so very much Marilyn. No, the character is already a Christian. That particular Christmas he just re-awakens.
    Take care and enjoy your holidays!

Oh wow!!! Katie, this is a beautiful poem so full of hope. I read your bio, so I see your situation. There are many here that suffer from debilitating illnesses. Your story of hope found in the baby's smile, in Christmas stands as a great inspiration to them. To me as well.

Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

And the birth of the child brought promise to every living soul, warming their souls and showing them the light that we are promised. Raise up and rejoice and find peace and contentment where once darkness dwelled. BEautiful!
Smiles, Carol

Absolutely perfect meter and rhyme work with your fine lines to create as classic a Christmas Poem as I've read in a decade or more!

My senses were fully engaged and you gently urged me to step away from the commercial hustle and hustle of the season and feel the joy of Jesus' birth!
