December Cheer

December comes with end-of-year goodbyes.
Full winter soon will bloom as days proceed
with snow-filled days, a time that soon implies,
we turn our minds to holidays, full speed

when everyone is filled with Christmas joy,
and shopping days for loved ones fill each day.
Dear families and friends, meet to enjoy
this happy time, our end-of-year bouquet. 

December is the last month of the twelve
that make up one year's measured time we spend;
a final year to finish and soon shelve
when midnight brings December to its end.

A brand new year of twelve will then appear;
when once again, we'll share December cheer.
