Merry Christmas


How lovely 'tis to take this time
To greet our dearest friends,
To wish them health and happiness
Before the old year ends.

Darkness comes late afternoon
And winter lies ahead,
But friendship is a glowing fire
When all seems cold and dead.

Just as in some vacant barn,
Unnoticed in the night,
The whole of human history turns,
So we, too, make things right.

We must keep alive the flame
Though darkness grip the Earth;
For in the love we find in friends
Is our chance for rebirth.

Hoping all my dear friends, bloggers and followers enjoy this Christmas time with lots of love and peace.

Yes I am starting to feel the spirit of Christmas.

I find myself exhausted at trying to write my poem about you. I can't believe that in the end it came down to just a few simple lines. But these are lines were I meant every word . These are for you.

.........................................................

I felt your words long after they were read
long after they were read

Images created by another's thoughts
can be so strong

The power of the words remain
long after the words are forgotten

They have marked this heart

Dulce,

You give us gifts every day,
Gifts we never can repay
Words you make to help us rest
Dulce, our Poet, you are the best!

Fondly, Secretia

May your heart be as filled as your tummy on xmas and throughout the holidays.

May love of family, friends, lovers, fill the air

May sweet memories lie in your sweet head, like sugar plums dancing and dancing

Until we all gather round once more after celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus.

I have opened many special gifts before xmas, they are YOU and all my blog friends. PEACE & Merry Christmas
