To My Friends, On Christmas Eve Poem by Will Barber

To My Friends, On Christmas Eve

Rating: 5.0


One fit of pique
One bit of spite
May these be released
Tonight.

In the dark, a Child is born,
Offering mercy. Unless
We do the same,
No prayer is blest..

A Star, a prayer,
The angels' song
Bid mankind to mount the stair
Jacob's Angels climbed upon.

This holy season
Know ye this:
Our Fellowship
Has brought me bliss.

12/07

May all your years be blest.
Your friendships have been a blessing to me.

Brilliantly stated with stunning compactness! The very essence of Christmas superbly captured in a mere sixty words. Truly a Christmas Carol for the poetry minded!
