AVA'S EARTH ANGEL

AVA'S EARTH ANGEL

By Roger A. Davis


Ava came visiting during our holiday times.
Allowing this Earth Angel to entwine with a nursery rhyme. 
Thanksgiving and Christmas - novel experiences for Ava's folks.
Niu and Diyi not eating turkey: One of Roger's jokes.

Earth Angel, sort of a grandpa creature.
He passes down oral traditions as a teacher.
An orientation for his adoptive family to the Seasons.
Pilgrims, Native Americans, Thanksgiving reasons.

Traditions of faith, Ava can be sublime.
Exactly now, for this is Christmastime.
The celebration of Jesus and His birth.
A gift from God declaring His love and our worth.

Hanging from The Christmas Angel tree,
Many other tales of Holiday glee.
Including Santa, reindeers and North Pole elves,
Stocking stuffers and gifts, fill stores’ shelves.

Music is a gift, baby Ava; His children songs.
Nursery lullabies sung on earth and by heaven's throng.
Be it Jingle Bells or Silent Night.
You, Ava, will always be under the Bethlehem light.
