As We Wait For Christmas

When winter winds begin to blow And all the leaves on trees are gone A sure sign that there will be snow When days grow short, the air is cold As you go out with hat and gloves The wonder of the scene, behold… A season filled with hope and love. And as the temp falls far below You long for a hot cup of rum To warm the body, with nose aglow You listen to a tale of old Peace on the wings of a white dove A symbol of the story told… A child was born from God above.

Hi Betty. I love this poem. It's certainly for adults, but it gives me some of that old-time "Christmas" feeling I had as a child, back when it was such a monumental holiday to my sister, brothers and me. The feeling of peace is real, and there's a strong backbone of it that runs all the way through. Oh yeah - extra credit for giving rum a mention. ; )

Thanks Doug, I guess the Christmas feeling never leaves as we get older, just fewer gifts and more rum! Happy Holidays my friend. Betty
