Richard Murray Poems

Just before Christmas gentle snow falls from the wintery sky,
The first covering, all aglow, beautiful to every eye.
Each snowflake a pattern unique, amazing by design,
Silently descending, miraculous, sublime.
...

Little donkey on her way
With a steady pace,
Bearing Mary, great with Child,
Full of love and grace.
...

When ole St. Nick has made his rounds on a busy Christmas Eve,
He hurries home to find his wife has packed their bags to leave.
Where, you ask, will St. Nick go? We've ne're heard this before.
They catch a flight heading south to Scotland's bonnie shore.
...

What shall I do this Christmastime
To make the season bright,
To honor Christ the Savior
Born this holy night?
