The Season

Herald for the season white Bright shining star of ages In the ambiance with evergreen Thousands of twinkling lights Playing silhouettes in thoughts And on top, star of David shines filling the room with warmth.

Ah look at the jolly man in red Does he care for all these kids They put their trust in him Even if the thought might be Is this Santa from north pole Ah child of innocence Think this way, glow on faces. The ambiance of the season Many days now have past And in silence tree is gone Twinkling of lights have died And in old chest lies star of David Next to angel with beat old harp held in hands old and withered As a tear slowly dispenses On grooves of lined face. Times, past times ambiance gone Only the remembrance now strong And heard almost now in reality Children sitting on white bearded man Yes this man in red Loved the children innocence ambiance For in them he lived life past Remembering days of yesteryears Day of laughing, roasting turkey's Cakes and cookies, roasted chestnuts...
