Innocence of Christmas angel

Reader Betsy Eadie contributes a Christmas poem to The Times.

Editor: This is a poem for the season.

Christmas Angel

Behold this final month, December’s beauty is all around us

Captivated by the endless lights; shining bright

A little girl is sleeping and wishing for all she has seen

Colorful decorations dance through her head

The house was perfect it smelt like gingerbread

Mother and father love her so, soon enough

She will be touching fresh snow

Once she awakens, outside she will go

A bright red scarf keeps her toasty warm

Making a snow angel; she feels a snowflake fall lightly on her nose

Embrace this season open your hearts, a

Child’s innocence bears no scars.
