Poems for the Sweetest of Ponies

[Gentian]

Christmas night
All is still, yet my soul is alight
With thoughts of you, love so true
How did I win the right?

How did I find you by my side?
How did I join on this wonderous ride?
Perhaps the Christmas star, so afar
Holds the answer on this tranquil Yuletide?

Or perhaps it’s that certain glow
That in your smile does show
That gives me a clue to the wonder of you
That warms my heart as cold winds blow

Or perhaps like that ancient tale
Which is the reason for travel in winter gale
It was an unearned gift that caused my heart to lift
That twice pierced my cold, lonely veil

So all thanks we can give
For love that flows as a sieve
For one who gave all but to failure didn’t fall
Who gives our love power to live

What a sweet poem! All the thanks we can give, indeed.
