Hear The Bells Of Christmas Day

I heard the bells of Christmas Day,
Their familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet, the words repeat,
Of peace on Earth, good will to men ...

From 'I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day'

Why do they have to fade away?
Why can't they last past Christmas Day?
Maybe if we hear them one more time,
The message of hope they will chime,

Maybe it will get deep inside,
Maybe it will spread, far and wide,
So sing loudly, those anthems, sweet,
From the rooftops and from the streets ...

Merry Christmas from me to you,
Carry it on the whole year through,
Peace on Earth and good will to men,
May it start, here, at Author's Den!

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (12/19)

I miss my church's bells from Germany. Utah is filled with churchs (LDS) but their silence drives me crazy.
I have a CD with bells on it, maybe I should download those for you.
Love,

This is a question and often a statement I hear first as a writer and often as Santa a lot, my reply is that although it would be wonderful that it lasted all year, human frailities and weaknesses do not allow it so Christmas becomes a reminder to all of us to keep on trying.

Merry Christmas

OH this is so wonderful Karla, if only everybody throughout the world would heed this message. This brings back wonderful images of when I was little and we would go out through the town singing Christmas carols, and be invited in for more singing and hot chocolate. Oh those were the days to be alive. Thank you so much for the memories

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
