Sounds of Christmas

Christmas sounds ring loud each year.

Songs of the Christ child playing proud.

A bell rings loud for all to hear,

With the hope it will touch all in the crowd.

Violin strings rip open our heart,

Allowing us to commune with God.

With a Trumpet it plays well it's part,

Pushes us with this celestial prod.

Sopranos notes makes us alert.

The alto combines to make it round.

Tenor sounds will not subvert.

Bass connects celestial to our ground.

Christmas Signs

Look for Christmas signs arrival.

Nothing compares as a rival.

You'd think it's hard to do each year.

Some people do have to steer.

With each turkey cooked it's not strange.

A feeling in the air does change.

A spirit dressed in red tinsel.

With wishes dispels all sinful.

Presents are staged around the tree.

For families, yes, you and me.

Lights are twinkling from heart to heart.

Celebrate God’s love is a start.

With the birth of the Christ child came

Those who searched a light to reclaim.

Search for it through him who creates

By sharing this with those who awaits.

This holiday packed full of lights,

With Christmas trees at higher heights.

Wish lists made to be wrapped in gold.

Slow down now, take time to behold.

Is it really hard to believe

That love, joy and peace will alleve.

Sharing with others is an art.

Take the time to give of your heart.
