December 03, 2009 |
I find that when the winter comes
Our hearts much warmer grow
That frigid weather just outside
The wind and sleet and snow
Though devastating to our dreams
Will never change our way
For inside by the hearth and fire
We happiness display
We choose this time for Holidays
For candy canes and wreaths
Menorah lighted candles
And presents neath the trees
We warm ourselves with greeting cards
With toasts and howdy do’s
And some of us just get away
Upon a winter’s cruise
There’s magic and there’s mystery
When solstices draw near
And stars that shine much brighter too
As angels reappear
It is a time for sharing joy
For loving and for hope
For sleigh bells and for Dreidel’s
As we with long nights cope
It’s hours spent with puzzles
That everyone must try
Piece by piece we recreate
The beauty of the sky
It’s cookies made by grandma
And cheeks all rosy red
Latkes made on Hanukkah
The taste of gingerbread
It’s love and laughter always shared
And Santa Claus the elf
The decorated fire place
With stockings on its shelf
It’s all these things and Christmas too
But most of all I’ve found
With winter comes forgiveness
As true love does abound
