Christmas Eve....

                                            CHRISTMAS EVE

                                 The door is on the latch tonight,

                                    The hearth fire is aglow;

                                 I seem to hear soft passing feet -

                                     The Christ Child in the snow.

                                My heart is open wide tonight,

                                     For stranger, kith, or kin;

                                I would not bar a single door

                                     Where love might enter in.

                                                                                               - Luke 2:7

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

    Hi Nellie from the cold Canadian prairie. Thanks for being so faithful and reading my blog and leaving your encouraging comments. This poem is beautiful - like you.
    It is lightly snowing here, been snowing soft and gentle all day. Very peaceful. Thinking of you and so thankful our paths crossed. Christmas love and hugs, Arlene.
