A Villanelle for a Christmas Prayer

Let there be peace like the cascading snow
On Christmas Eve1 ever soft to the touch
Like the fleece of a lamb, the Lord who's the bow

Between God and man in the high, the loW, There is such need for God to forgive much. Let there be peace like the cascading snow

Blessing America's Jane's and Joe's
Who map the lands and the seas to this rush -Like the fleece of a lamb, the Lord who's the bow

Ever divine betwixt Heaven's glow
And this earthen sod on this Eve that's hushed.
Let there be peace like the cascading snow.

Oh Lord, Father, bring right to the toe bin Laden, our foe, who's fought so much, Buming the fleece of a Lamb, the Lord's the bow.

Saudi Osama bin Laden has tried to Dutch
And dick and dyke us to the crutch,
But let there be peace like the cascading snow
Like the fleece of a lamb, our Lord who's the bow.
