Advent time, - Advent is
Waiting for the Prince of Peace,
Hearts glow warm in expectation
Of the Prince that brings salvation.
Bells ring softly in the morn,
Advent wreathes homes adorn,
Families together sit,
While the Advent candle is lit.
One of four is lit each week,
Twigs of resin’s fragrance reek,
Songs plead for the Prince to come,
To take in human hearts a home.
Cookies sizzle in the oven,
Gold straw stars are deftly woven,
Sixteen straws to every star,
While Stephen tunes up the guitar.
Whispering fir trees rouse their boughs,
With twigs bedecked is hall and house,
Full of promise is the air,
The virgin does her baby bear.
Mists and clouds in fleet array,
Rain the Just One down we pray!
To water arid and poor earth
By the blessing of His birth.
Come to us dear Jesus sweet!
And pity our want and need
Without you life is too tough,
Come fill us with your boundless love.

That is so good. Elizabeth, you never fail to delight me with your poetry. I shouldn't envy - I'm sorry.
I love this KNOWN and celebrated time of Christ's advent, -and I especially love His times of personal, "unknown" Spiritual visitation and intersession. God bless.
P.S. I'm planning to post a poem within the hour. |

Yes come Sweet Lord Jesus, we give our love, you can take, let the heavens open and all hearts rise today, Prince of Peace come lie your Holy Light in front of us and we shall bow down to you with joy. You are the life that flows as we sing songs to you and our hearts shall be lifted from troubles and tears will shine into smiles.
Elizabeth, your poem brings me much warmth, joy and love, it is this passion of His wisdom that presents still minds and hearts. Raquel Leah |
