The color scheme makes the piece virtually unreadable, but that does seem to be mentioned in the Author's notes. I'm not anti-Christmas, but this piece just did not seem to have anything new to offer as a carol. :(

    Sorry about that, glad you managed to get through anyway. Thanks for the review. I will look into the colour thing you are probably right on that. I only just found out how to do that today no thanks to FS for any guidance.

    Not sure if I asked if you heard the music I put with it. There are others in the book I have now put them all in.

Very good. I love the way you constructed it very unique. It awakened emotions in me that I never though existed anymore. It made me feel somewhat of an internal happiness. Extremely beautiful

    Thanks very much I had a complaint about the colour scheme and I did wonder if that was a bit stark. Only found out how to do the font colouring today actually from a good friend on FS. Appreciate the review.

A lovely piece that I can easily hear in song lyrics. I love to see the true "reason for the season" presented at Christmastime, which you presented both the physical, the birth of Christ, and purpose, salvation.

I enjoyed this piece very much. Your words easily describe your visions to your readers. The reader can easily understand your message. It was interesting, and it held my attention very well.

Always with respect,

    Hi friend thanks for jumping in. hate how the media just wants to call it "Holidays" and leave off the Christmas part. Hope you heard the music and can check out the other Carols I have done thanks again.

ha! first in line. Right at the top of your game here. This flows smooth as silk. Beautifully written with an uplifting and joyful spirit. Just perfect for the season and suitable as well. The focus is right where it belongs. I enjoy the music quite a bit. Matches up quite nicely. Attention! Anyone reviewing after me. A musician has approved this. Watch your step!! hahaha. mikey

    Hey mate thanks for being "there" for me. Appreciate the fine review and glad you picked up the music. Need help with the font colour if anyone knows how to fix that
reply by michaelcahill on 06-Nov-2013
    should be able to go into advanced editor and highlite the whole piece and then click on the color and it should change. you can also click a different font and bold. all at the same time. takes a bit to get used to. not that user friendly. like "Word" but not as easy to figure out. mikey

This would be beautiful in praise by groups of Carolers going place to place . Very nicely done. Well done poet.
Need this sung by all the churches.

    Thanks Ben for the great review. My pastor has taken years to do it but he wants me to fix these up to put in our hymnal at church now. I think I did get him to sing them while I played years ago have to try and find the recording. Thanks again I do hope you were able to pick up the music and there is another couple of these in my Portfolio if you wan to check them out.
