Splendid write to celebrate the Christmas season with and that pic is surely a prize in itself. I thought it was a photograph at first look. Stay well for the Holy days ahead.

Beautiful Kimmy ...

I love the hint of classicism you imparted with your choice of words -especially in the fourth stanza where it seemed to blossom and then wane again in the fifth. The sixth stanza is laced with hope and a determined thankfulness that resolves your thoughts nicely. Well written and touching indeed. Best Holiday wishes for you and yours.

Light and Wisdom ...

PS I'm still trying to figure out what happened with the post.

Not only is the print a prize Sis. Kimmy, but also the writer of this beautiful symbolic poem that goes far beyond the season known to the world as Christmas. Both speak so boldly of humanity and spirituality and sacrifice and love.

Ah how true Kimmy. Her tear fell, but she bore the pain of her child crucified with dignity. However we must live one day at a time. As the Ecclesiasticus says, there is a time and place for everything. Now is the time of joy. Let us rejoice He came to save us. Excellent poem and beautiful picture. Victor

No wonder the hymn writer could write, 'who is he in yonder stall at whose feet the shepherd's fall? It is the Lord, oh wondrous story'

And a happy Christmas and new year to you too, Kimmy.
