Oh Israel Oh Israel
the shepherd’s sheep are singing; Oh Israel Oh Israel the hills and lands are tingling. They laid the child upon the hay; the one whose birth was Christmas Day. Oh Israel Oh Israel proclaim Him King is ringing. Oh Israel Oh Israel all the wise men came searching. Oh Israel Oh Israel the brightest star is perching. They traveled far to see the babe; found salvation, from trip they made. Oh Israel Oh Israel Sagers accepted churching. Oh Israel Oh Israel the King was born as First Noel. © 2006 |

I loved the rhythm of this, I found myself actually singing it and then, on second read, nodding my head to the beat...but even more than that the visions and intent was adorned in that lovely musical poem...
This is a beautiful poem, in the true spirit of Christmas. Blessings, Liz ······· ·······Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings.

Carol, is it? Hello. I love the pure originality of this.....and as Liz says the rhythm is marvelous. Seems to read almost like a song. A song of celebration ! Best of luck in the competition. So glad to see your entries.

and every person that crosses our path takes up the brush and makes their mark upon our surface. So it is that we develop. But we must realize there comes a day that we must take up the brush and finish the work. For only we can determine if we are to be just another painting or a masterpiece..." 1981 Javan (from the book " Meet Me Halfway" ) MM Award Winner |

Shalom!
I loved the lilting rhyme in this and as I was musing on it, this came. From the First Noel, The Azazel, to the Last Shofar's scalpel, Human history is impelled by Israel. Thanx for the inspiration! Dennis! ······· ·······Faith is a fine invention
