December

Drifting down to us as pearly flakes,

Ever drifting like a silver dream,

Comes that special time when faces gleam;

Earth‘s populace with good will awakes!

Merry is this end time of the year.

Bright are memories we make and keep.

Ermine-covered, nature goes to sleep.

Regardless, festivity draws near!
