Joy to Her World!
Posted: December 12, 2010
A posthumous Christmas wish for Elizabeth Edwards…
Joy to your world, Elizabeth.
Though peace on earth seemed but a myth,
I pray your final silent nights
brought some comfort and joy.
With chestnuts roasting on the fire,
I hope your one lasting desire
expressed itself in wordless looks
at loved ones gathered near.
As carols played within your home,
did you see the Christ upon His throne?
And in the bleak midwinter
did you find Immanuel?
God rest you merry, 'lizabeth.
I pray that with your final breath
you could release regrets and hurts
that suffocated joy.
May bells we hear on Christmas Day
remind us that God made a way
to angels we have heard on high
when we face death down here.
