winter scene by Theresa Paulfranz
Hail the passing of time at Christmas
Winter solstice and a new year
Honor the past and welcome the future
Welcome everyone in cheer
.......
Wrap the presents bright and pretty
Stuff the stockings, decorate the tree
Summer's work stored and preserved
Winter is time to share this plenty
.......
Cook the goose and deck the table
Empty shelves in the kitchen
Dress in warm clothes all the people
Make sure all the kids have mittens
.......
Bury every heart's injury
Start anew for time reborn
Reshape all within the physical
All that is not with love adorned
