December


I awoke early and looked up to see
returning from some eastern sea
the Goddess of Love and her escort low
the morning sky a heavenly glow
December morning

Paints and glue and a particular decal
put together for someone special
A paper heart to hang on the tree
loving reminder of you and me
December afternoon

Discussions poetic and pondering
Hark the herald angels sing
Holly boughs, smell of pine
lingering hint of mulled wine
December evening

Sugar plum stories of a man in red
ballerina figurines dance in your head
candy-cane dreams of cinnamon and spice
hopes that tomorrow will bring snow and ice
December bedtime

Thinking of family and friends
joy that never ends
peace, love, and happiness too
Merry Christmas to all of you
December
