A Gentle Night in Bethlehem
©2005 Susan Noyes Anderson
Tonight I walk beneath a gentle sky
where stars are warm and whisper, “Peace, be still.”
The silence beckons softly, as the moon
shines clear and bright upon a distant hill.
I am especially pleased to share these Christmas poems with you. They are near and dear to my heart. The celebration of Christ’s birth is such a joyful occasion that I can’t help trying to capture it in verse. I hope your Christmas will be a little more merry for having visited.
