Christmas Blessings - June Cotner
THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS
The sound of joyful church bells
Heard from a distant hill,
A warm and cozy fireside
To chase the winter’s chill.
The jingle of the sleigh bells,
A Christmas candle’s glow,
The cherished celebrations
Each heart has come to know.
A child’s anticipation
As he peers beneath the tree,
And finds the gift he asked for
When he sat on Santa’s knee.
The sights and sounds of Christmas
Woefully will depart,
But the wondrous love of Jesus
Can remain within each heart.
—catherine janssen irwin
IF I WERE A CHRISTMAS TREE
I’d
like
to be a
Christmas
tree with pres-
ents all around;
with golden ropes,
and silver
tinsel hanging
to the ground. I’d
trim my boughs with
crystal balls of red and blue
and white, and watch them glow
and catch the gleam of every Christmas
light. I’d wrap myself in
candy canes and popcorn balls,
and such. And, last, I’d have a shining
angel for my crowning touch! Then early
Christmas morn when little ones, with shouts
of joy, rush in to see and claim and treasure every
wondrous toy, I’d lean my boughs to brush up close and
touch each child like this, and place upon each shining cheek my
loving
Christmas
kiss!
—bonnie compton hanson
EVERYWHERE CHRISTMAS
Peace on earth—
It’s Christmas;
Silent is the night.
All about
the beauty—
Earth is dressed in white.
Listen;
Hear the angels—
Songs are in the air.
Wide eyes
shine in wonder—
It’s Christmas everywhere.
—joan stephen
