Poem of the Week
CHRISTMAS MOOD
By Ralph J. Adams
|
This time of year, there is something in the air,
A spirit of love seems to be everywhere.
A cheerful hello and a healthy cheer,
To every person who is walking near.
The enchanting music of carolers walking around,
Trees decked with lights and a star at its crown.
Snowflakes spreading pure whiteness, blanketing the ground,
Yes, the spirit of Christmas has touched our little town.
Children, throwing snowballs, laughing with rosy faces,
Stores decorated windows to the passer-by races.
The atmosphere is filled with inviting fragrance of Pine,
Love seems to spread, yes it is Christmas time.
My only prayer, I wish this Love and Cheer,
Would not be only one time,
It should be every day in the year.

CHRISTMAS COMES ALIVE
By Ralph J. Adams
|
Christmas comes alive on Christmas Eve,
As children gather around the Christmas tree.
Fragrance of pine fills the room's great space,
As logs sparkle with a glow, in the fireplace.
Stories told of Jesus' birth, to every listening ear,
The singing of Christmas carols added to the cheer.
Mother baking in the kitchen, breads and rolls so sweet,
To be placed for Santa, for his nightly treat.
Then it is bed time for the children, to go upstairs and pray,
Preparing with anticipation for the upcoming day.
They know Santa will be coming soon,
They stay awake to see his silhouette against the moon.
Little ears listening for the bells and prancing hoofs,
Of the reindeers landing softly upon the roof.
But mother said he will never come with his sled,
Until they were fast asleep in their cozy bed.
So a night of dreaming of Jesus on this special day,
How shepherds were directed by a star to where Jesus lay,
How Jesus is that special star that directs our paths each day.

GOAL IN LIFE
By Ralph J. Adams
|
There are so many fields and places to explore,
This is your start, just open the door.
Poor is the man who cannot see,
How to set his future, his goals, his destiny
Just knowing God is always at your side,
He will give you the vision and your pride.
Press on with courage to your goal,
Many mountains you may have to climb,
Butt he glory when you reach the crest,
From there you have the wonderful view to find.
Make every opportunity a gain and not a loss,
Don't look behind you at the bridges you never crossed.
Life cannot give you joy, unless you really will it,
Life gives you the time and space,
It's up to you to fill it.
