The Christmas Card Angel

Only the best angels get to be on the Christmas Cards

At the stroke of Midnight on Christmas Eve

We all sat around the angel tree

We opened one gift from mom and pap

We cherished it for it came from the heart

Now Mom wiped away a shaded tear

Pap held her hand like a gentleman

They were Caught under neath the missile toe

Pap puckered up and gave mom a Christmas Kiss

All the eight children could see

The romance still was soaring

Higher in the heaven where it first began

A love like this is only heaven sent

I seen it in their eyes for more then fifty years

This Christmas of much joy is not different

Bring all the loved ones together near and far

A blessed Christmas For one and all.

Smitty, what a beautiful poem and I simply love the sentiment. When you spoke of parents, the picture you painted with your words were very vivid to me. In fact, the whole poem provided me a beautiful picture of Christmas and of course I loved the ending. Happy Holidays to you as well. Poetry 101 Tag
