Twelve Christmas angels met <br />Up near the Milky Way; <br />To discuss why joy was missing, <br />From the Christmas holiday. <br /> <br />It gave them so much sadness, <br />As they tracked the negative trend; <br />So each decided to do their part, <br />To bring this madness to an end. <br /> <br />Angel one would touch memories, <br />Reminding of the blessings of life; <br />Angel two would tenderize hard hearts, <br />Removing bitterness and strife. <br /> <br />Angel three would gather families, <br />From far reaches of the earth; <br />Then stir feelings of love and peace, <br />Giving hope and joy new birth. <br /> <br />Angel four would return Merry <br />And Christ to holiday greetings. <br />Angel five would clear calendars, <br />To make time for family meetings. <br /> <br />Angels six would flame enthusiasm, <br />Angels seven would spread cheer; <br />Angel eight would grow generosity, <br />Angel nine would diminish fear. <br /> <br />Angel ten would dispel darkness, <br />By lighting colorful decorations; <br />Angel eleven would draw the lonely, <br />To warm and friendly celebrations. <br /> <br />Angel twelve would have the hardest job, <br />Bringing wonder back to each heart; <br />And reminding all the people, <br />Of how Christmas had its start. <br /> <br />So with haste they met the challenge, <br />And made everything all right; <br />They restored the joy and happiness, <br />Before that Christmas night. <br /> <br />So Merry Christmas then to one and all, <br />May every tongue employ; <br />And thank you Christmas angels, <br />For bringing back the Christmas joy! <br /> <br /> <br />Written by Loyd C Taylor <br />December 17,2009<br /><br />Loyd C.
