Christmas 2021

I love Christmas
a special time
watching people smile
seeing children laugh
a blessing this year
in lieu of the grief
and illness around
we need to remember
it's a time to 
love one another
and show we care
there was a time
we were told
that wise men came
to see a child
this child grew up
he spoke about
what matters
my Christmas wish
is things that matter
will be our treasure
finding a home
in our hearts


Edward J Ebbs - December 19, 2021

Sara Kendrick Date: 2/18/2024 10:36:00 AM The year 2021 was hard on us because all three of us in this house had COVID at the same time. One was not able to wait on the other one. Somehow, we made it. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. My husband has COVID again, but I nor my grandson has been diagnosed with it but I think I am having a mild case.

Suzette Richards Date: 12/18/2023 10:28:00 AM Hi Edward. This is definitely a fresh breeze and a lovely example for your contest. Since you have not been hosting contests for a while, you might not be aware of one of the many new rules by PoetrySoup, for example, no dates on the poetry page (it is in red at the top of the text box when you submit your poem). I would like to enter, but don't want to break PS rules ...
Eve Roper Date: 12/15/2023 5:56:00 PM Edward, so much at the time of Covid. So many lost to the illness and so many with after effects of the disease. Praise to the Lord that was born to change our lives. Thank you for sharing this lovely poem. And thank you for your condolence. Hugs Eve
