Six Sentence Story: Gloria

The shepherds knew an angel who
had told them of His birth.
They went to see the mystery
of peace, goodwill on earth.

Today as well we yearn to tell,
like them, this tale of love,
with accent true with joy that’s new
from ancient songs above.

Go on and see beyond the tree
how righteousness reigns there.
He will not leave though devils grieve.
He’s with us everywhere.

Denise offers the prompt word “accent” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

I am grateful to P. A. Oltrogge whose book of poems, tales, carols and Bible verses, Christmas on the Porch, reminded me that it is the Christmas season and a narrative poem may be the best story.
