A Quiet Day
A quiet day is Christmas,
When many take a break
From working, shopping, stressing;
Not relaxing’s a mistake.
Just hanging ‘round the house is great
Or visiting with friends.
No matter if you celebrate,
You reap the dividends.
The leading-up-to frenzy’s gone;
The gifts have been exchanged
And plans for year-end parties
Have been settled and arranged.
I live within the city,
Where quiet’s not the norm,
But on this day I like to watch
My neighborhood transform.
