Regis, Even though the celebrated day has past, Christmas is for me a daily remembrance of our precious Lord and Savior. You have penned a lovely acrostic, most appropriate for the time of year. I apologize for being late in responding, but I'm still combing through my backlog after a much needed 11 day Caribbean cruise holiday.

I trust your Christmas was wonderful. Here's wishing you and yours a blessed and safe New Year. May you continue to write poems long into the future. Thank you for visiting my site. Your support is precious.

God bless
Lena

Slam dunk! Once again it is proven that artistic limitations in the
hands of a talented and dedicated artist such as yourself
actually expand the boundaries that technically erect fences
incapable of being moved. And a very merry Christmas to YOU.

To write an acrostic is always a challenge. But to write one that has a rhythmic rhyme to it, is twice the challenge. You really did well with this. The rhythm and message are great. Keep up the great work...
