Eighth Day of Christmas

 

With New Year dawned, let hope be spawned

Eighth day from Christmas morn

Through joy and pain this week was lain

'Tween birth and death was torn

 

Christ child’s birth sweet with love complete

God’s gifts of hope and peace

Then the earth did shake a mighty quake

Dreams swallowed by the seas

 

This morn be bright with new found light

As the seeds of time be sown

That man shall grow and future know

A world of peace enthroned

 

May war and hate now dissipate

Liberty and love ensue

Of freedoms ring each voice shall sing

All mankind’s life imbue

 

The fate we share this New Year fair

Is up to you and me

For hope resides and love abides

Through lives lived peacefully

What a gentle, yet bold call for peace, Sherry. There's a ring of the old masters in your expressive verses and rhymes, so beautifully they flow.

I read this twice, again so I could simply absorb into your most gifted and utterly fine piece.

Happy New Year to you too!

Sherry,
A very poignant verse for the times..it seems to be getting tougher and tougher to see the bright through the shadows that hang darker and darker each day.
I just didn't feel much like celebrating this year..the death toll was piling way too high...
I love your visions of hope Sherry! Thank you for sharing them when we need them the most!

How lovely...if only we could have the peace we all crave so much...I wonder why it is so hard for those of the human persuasion to possess it? I've never understood why words can't work instead of bombs, and love can't replace anger...Perhaps I live in a Care Bear world, but how I wish it were so! God Bless you Sherry for such a special post. Happy New Year to you my friend...Michelle
