Sing as Though a Choir of Angels Near


May 19, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is angels.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

An acrostic number and birthday poem for siXty-four (requiring an X), urging the person whose birthday it is to sing along with the angels:

Sing as though a choir of angels near
Immersed you in the beauty of their song!
Xylophones accompany the throng,
Though trumpets might be easier to hear.
Yet we must use the letters of the year.

Fear not that your voice will be too strong!
Offer them your music, loud and clear!
Understand that angels hold you dear,
Rejoicing as in joy you sing along.
