The Poet's Corner

I am a little late on getting this new posting out online.  I will try to do better It is terribly and bitterly cold here the last few days.  It was only 1 (one) degree above zero today.

I got up and got dressed and went to church then came home and got back into my jammies.  Sitting in my favorite chair and been paying bills.  Here are my poems I wrote for January.  I hope you enjoy them.  That is if anyone is reading them ....:)

New Year's Resolutions by Patrice Vicory

A New Year is coming, so full of promise

It's fresh and clean and new

Let's fill it up with prayers, now answered

And dreams that have come true

The Old Lamplighter has lit the lamp

The gently lights my way

My step is sure, the journey safe

Until the light of day

So enter in, the New Year beckons

Come dance at New Year's Balls

Let's sing the song of friends remembered

Until the snowflakes fall

Bundle up in your overcoat

You mustn't catch a chill

There's many days awaiting you

And resolutions to be filled

Happiness is a Snowflake by Patrice Vicory

See the little snowflake

As it dances all around

Swirling through the crisp, cold air

Before it ever touches ground

It has donned it's sparkling winter coat

As it blankets all the hills

It makes a winter wonderland

Outside the windowsills

The children bundle up all warm

As they go outside to play

They seek snow angels hiding

And bid them all "please stay"

It sparkles like the diamonds

When the moon comes shining down

What fun to make a snowman

So nice and fat and round

Let's not forget the sledding

Over white and bumpy hill

And the laughter shared with friends

As we take a snowy spill

Some think the falling snow

Is just trouble and a trial

Yet there is still some of us

It brings on quite a smile

Hoping you are all having a Happy Christmas Eve and to those who are traveling to see loved ones be safe.  Here are a couple of poems I wrote a few years back for Christmas and I would like to share them with you...God Bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

The Greatest Gift by Patrice Vicory

The Greatest Gift

I received a priceless gift

But it was not beneath a tree

It was hung upon a wooden cross

For all the world to see

Not tied with bows and paper

Yet what an awesome sight

That God did love me Oh so much

For He sent down His Light

With peace on earth, goodwill to men

What greater gift to give?

God's only Son did die for me

That I could truly live

May I remember to share His Love

Throughout this joyous season

And never lose sight of the fact

That Jesus is the reason

The gifts of God keep coming

Throughout the entire year

With friends to share the laughter

And peace instead of fear

So is it any wonder

I sing His praise each day

For Jesus is the answer

The Truth, the Light, the Way

The First Christmas by Patrice Vicory

The First Christmas

A long time ago

In a manger did lay

A most precious baby

The first Christmas Day

As father did watch

And mother did keep

Her eyes on that baby

Just watching Him sleep

With eyes filled with wonder

At this miraculous sight

A babe born in Bethleham

This long ago night

The shepherds did come

As they followed the star

Three kings did bring presents

They traveled afar

They've shared the glad tidings

To tell of His birth

The day Jesus left Heaven

And came to the earth
