holiday birthday poem






Hey Mom :)
So, here's your birthday poem - 
I know you love the holidays and so I thought I'd go with a Christmas theme ~

November Candles

Christmas months both still and bustle
Excitement taunts, pervades, and stays
Leaves still falling; crunched or rustled
An autumn peace, so slow, gives way

Her colors celebrate an ending
Cyclic tones of death soon sleep
Waiting to awaken; rending
The cold repose of dreams so deep

A candle lit in late November
Flickers as a warm embrace
Growing, glowing as she remembers
A man who was a boy and babe

December's morning finds the virgin
Keeping treasures in her heart
A child afraid, yet purely willing
A faith divine in strong regard

A humble man with her is found
As angels soothed; gave hallowed mirth
A strength and blessing; hearts were bound
A pair, so pure, prepared for birth

December's noon finds candles many
But pleasing smiles can soon forget
The traveling couple who nears the city
Fulfilling hopes with promised steps

Christmas months bring back a family
To a place like homes we know
In evening's touch they rested weary
A subtle joy in December's glow

Night befalls our friends and children
Eve becomes a night of dreams
Dancing wishes of gifts now given
As a virgin toils, hopes, and weeps

Midnight waits in our December
Candles light the night with love
Stars remind as they remember
The King descended from above

A mother smiles as morning glistens
Surrounded by an untold wealth
Gifts we give as our hearts listen
To the Man who would soon give himself

I love you Mom; Happy Birthday!

❤ I love you too Daniel! ❤
Thank you so much for my beautiful poem!
