A beautiful scene in the photos, a beautiful verse written here, it's true, jesus is our savior and I'm so glad he's in my life.

Such a beautiful and appropriate work. I missed it when first written, but I found it in time for this Christmas season.
Merry Christmas,and continued success-
Barbara J Henry

I DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME BUT I AM SURE GLAD THAT I FOUND IT NOW...IT IS A WELL DONE ACROSTIC AND SO ENJOYED. BLESSINGS AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Nicely written rhyming acrostic, Reg ... has all the flavors of Christmas, as well as the true spiritual meaning ... I was in the mood to read a Christmas poem after reading Karla's latest when she mentioned Christmas in July :) ~ Nicely done! ~Hugs, Elizabeth

I don't get it, Regis-you say you are not a poet, but this is great stuff. Keep it up! Michelle

goodness....I am late...
I hung your stocking, but I seen it had chocolate in it & well you know I love chocolate....sorry
so instead a Hug & Smooch!
Love You Lots Regis
Embracing You Vickie
Peace, Love & Poetry
I Still Have That Stocking ;)

A wonderful sharing Regis. I hope the holidays were goodfor you and that you got something special from Santa. I love the picture ! The background setting is spectacular.....M

Very beautiful, well-composed poetry, Regis, with a style so very relaxing yet acknowledging of our great gift. I like the look at the territory you live in, too, so different from my own...Jerry

What a lovely offering, Regis! Thank you and my very best wishes to you for the New Year! May you write and delight us with many new poems and photos!

This is so beautiful, Reg. I like it vey much esp. the line "All the world's nations seemed to heave a soothing sigh..." It speaks of peace among the nations. Wonderful write. I know i missed Christmas here in AD but better late than never. I've missed reading you. It's good to be back.

Blessings to you,
Sheri

Hi, Regis, I'm late for Christmas, but not too late to appreciate this wonderful Rhyming acrostic! It is beautiful, and tells the story well. Even today, one who receives Jesus heaves a soothing sigh. Well put.
The picture is beautiful, too--what a gorgeous neighborhood you have.
Connie

Hope your was as MERRY! I really liked this one! Peace River runs in your voiced words...I can hear the sentiment in knowing...
Love and Peace, Reg
...and Have a HAPPIEST NEW YEAR!

Regis, I find this to be a delightful poem to read...just beautiful!

Regis, this is well-written and a timely piece for Christmas. I love your lovely new BIO pic!!!!

Happy New Year to you and your family!!!

Sandie Angel :o)

You capture well what Christmas means to me, Regis: the birth of Light, Hope and Peace that pass all understanding because they are infallible, enduring and totally gifted, not earned. Bless you for your friendship and faithfulness, your encouragement and unstinting love and inspiration. May your 2009 be richly blessed - great biog pic, BTW! :)) xx

This was wonderfully penned

A Beautiful offering Regis!!

Happy Merry...Wonderful..Exciting Christmas AND New Year to you!!

Regis,
Excellent poem. Difficult to do, but you've managed to tell a story in this piece. In admiration,
Sheila

This is a very beautiful message for all. enjoyed

I absolutely do not know how I missed this. This is very good Reg, and filled with so many images, a person can't help but see them. This is also filled with great advice for all of us, and thank you so much for sharing. Happy holidays Reg, to you and your family, and a very happy new year, and may 2009 be a great year for you.

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

Super. Wonderfully expressed. Blessings to you and yours this Christmas season.

Great job, Reg! M e s s a g e!! Happy, Happy New Year!! Love always, Phyllis

Merry Christmas Regis

So beautiful it oughta be in magazines today, so all can read. I can't imagine composing a rhyming acrostic like this unless in pure instrumental music. Such wonderful gifts you share so easily.
Peace & Goodwill to you & yours NOW and throughout the season, Michael

I love the poem it's a really good rhyming acrostic. I also love the picture. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
AM

Dear Regis, hope is the most precious stone that our heart guards, your acrostic told us so...

Georg

This poem takes me back to my childhood and to the the first time I grasped the miracle of the babe born in the manger - who indeed came to save mankind. Thank you for bringing it alive and for telling it so beautifully. Donelle

Very nicely executed and a nice sentiment to all, Reg. Merry Christmas to you and your family, also. Though I have done an acrostic or two, I don't believe I have ever done one with rhyme...strange since "I write with rhyme so much of the time".
Take care,
Sherry

What does Christmas mean to me, Regis? Without the Christ of Christmas I wouldn't have survived my early years--and I would surely be lost even if I had. Wonderful Seasonal sentiment in your write. Thanks for sharing,

May your Christmas be filled with love and laughter,
Linda

A wonderful Seasonal write Regis
Thank for sharing
Peace be with you and Family
MERRY CHRISTMAS
