O Holy Night

Like a lonely star on a quiet night

A lowly prince is birthed.

He sleeps below the starlight night,

Bringing peace to earth.

-------

'Round His helpless forms there waits 

The shepherds of the night

Hearing the glad tidings they 

Have come to see this sight.

-------

Wise kings from distant lands traverse 

The barren hills and dales 

To bow before the King of earth

His glory, they do hail.

-------

The gentle babe lies sleeping sound 

Within His tiny bed

While heav'nly angels gather round

And kneel beside His head.

-------

His virgin mother holds Him close

And sings a lullaby

Filling sweet the hearts of those 

Who worship closely by.

-------

Ne'er before this quiet eve

Had such a thing occurred

Ne'er before, since Adam and Eve

Had God returned to earth.

Hello! :) :D
I absolutely LOVE how you wrote this poem, and the reason behind it too. :) Jesus truly IS the reason for the season. :D I couldn't really find anything to correct in this! :) Except maybe put a comma/period when needed at the end of the lines when needed-

"Ne'er before this quiet eve,
had such a thing occurred.
Ne'er before, since Adam and Eve
had God returned to earth."

But I don't think it is wrong the way you put it. :D (you really shouldn't take punctuation advice from me... :D ) Other than that, this was beautiful. The title really fit as well! :D Great job, and keep writing!! :D :)

Stay Awesome :D

Hi,

First of all, wow, this was such a beautiful poem! I'm not a Christian myself but this really brought the true meaning of Christmas to the fore for me. There are no spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors as far as I can see, so well done! It was truly lovely, I can find absolutely no fault with it whatsoever. You are clearly very talented and have a great way with words.
I look forward to reading more of your work, and feel free to take a look at mine if the wish arises!
Sorry this was so short, but in this case it's a good thing because there were no faults to discuss. ;)

HEY :)

First off this was so refreshing! On here you see all these cynical poems/stories about Christmas how everything is terrible and bad. You brought to life the true meaning and I love that!!

I don't have a single bad thing to say about it. I can defiantly sense the presents of the lord in your writing! You truly have a gift.

I can wait to read more of your works

- Merry Christmas :)

p.s sorry I couldn't have been more help!
