The Sound of Christmas Bells

A New Horizon Poem

I hear the ringing of Christmas bells

amid the singing of the immortal noel,

of stockings and holly

surrounding a fat man who is so jolly.

Through it all though, I can still tell

the merry ring of the Christmas Bells.

I hear the cheerful laughter of playful children

and the clattering hooves on the roof of eight tiny rein deer.

I hear the confident words of Grandma and Grandpa,

telling tales of distant lore, causing kids to gasp in awe.

I hear the wrapping of cherished gifts

amid a feeling of joy that uplifts

even the most tearful of eyes

with their hearts' most longing surprise.

Oh listen to my words well,

I hear the ringing of Christmas bells!

I behold the brilliant spectrum of a Christmas tree,

spreading the good cheer by causing the people to gaze forward in glee.

Oh do please listen to my words' telling of this vision now....

I behold a manger among the goats and the cow,

and the joy of the sweet babe inside doth tell

the pleasure of the ringing Christmas bells!

I see the brilliant Christmas star

beckoning us all in from the distance so far.

So thus my dear children, strive always to do well,

for 'tis on this day I hear the hexing rime of yuletide bells!
