"Came Christmas"

Carol Elizabeth Lemon Allen

"CAME CHRISTMAS"

During the night - velvet, dark and quiet,

Beyond the river - silver, soft and deep,

Above the trees - standing still and silent,

In the sky - hushed and asleep,

APPEARED A STAR.

With a promise - bright and shining,

For a world wrapped in fear,

Into a moment shot with silver,

To a place so far, yet near,

CAME CHRISTMAS.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all!
