Title
| by Elizabeth Manwaring |
| This poem was written in response to the group's quarterly challenge to write a poem on a given topic. Having just emerged from the Christmas and New Year's festivities, it seemed appropriate to choose "Celebration" as our topic on this occasion. |
Only the sun outshines a song
That is sung in harmony As heaven begins the day A stream moves along its way. Let me wander where I will Hear the sound of music still Not only the bird that sings. Song is in the smallest things. I am glad of joyful days. To celebrate as music plays Blending with rhythm and song In the flow of nature's throng. I feel the joy music brings As pleasant choir voices sing Sweetness like summer's glory Foretold the Christmas story. Unto us a child is born Giving hope to all forlorn Like bells on Sunday sounding Their glad message resounding. So let us now celebrate With tunes of pure merriment Whatever may now befall God will bless us one and all. © Elizabeth Manwaring |
