I'm not very good at free verse, but I keep trying.
He loved music
Especially Christmas carols.
When the church went to sing
he exuberantly joined right in
standing next to the door
the elderly heard his loud voice
above all the others in the group.
The leader moved him at the next stop
and had him in the middle of the choir
but his loudness
caused the others to move away.
He found himself at the back next time
he could hardly see the door
but this didn’t stop him
and his volume button was turned up
nearly as high as it could go.
Every stop he was moved around
by his disgruntled choir
not only was he singing loud
but as far off tune as possible
yet the smile on his face
glowed like the Christmas star
as his joy of the season
overflowed.
And even though
he never found the tune
he expressed his Joy To The World
better than the trained voices
who were always on perfect pitch
with their faces very flat,
I'm sure you've heard this one before but....
If God gave you a beautiful voice, use it to praise him.
If its not so great, sing all the louder to get back at him.
Reading this brought that little gem back from my childhood. And I sing LOUD.
Enjoyed this.

I am sharing this one with my sister who fits this caroler's bill perfectly. She, like I, will truly enjoy the beauty of this. Her face lights up when she sings, but can only carry a tune in a bucket.

When it says, "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord," he was doing just that. :) Well done! I don't sing well, either. But I still try. :)
(((HUGS))), love and Merry Christmas,
